We asked the children at Transition House to dress up, so you don't have to! The Help-a-Kid No-Ball is a "non-event" meaning 100% of your donation directly supports programs for children living at Transition House.

Your impact will go twice as far and be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 thanks to a generous friend and supporter of Transition House, Carol M. Kommerstad.

A huge thank you to Santa Barbara Home Improvement Center, their staff, and all the customers who rounded up their purchase to support Transition House. It takes a community to create change, and together you did just that raising an incredible $10,008.92 for families experiencing homelessness in Santa Barbara.

For more than 2 decades, Santa Barbara Home Improvement Center has been a dedicated supporter and believer in our mission, and we are so grateful to have them as community partners.

Thank you to all who rounded up and helped make this campaign possible!
