Dykes With Drills was proud to partner with Rebuilding Together to help build 18 preschool sized picnic tables for low income preschools in San Francisco. We had both seasoned DWD participants and new builders a like. After a full day of building, we celebrated our accomplishment with a trip to the local queer bar. We are grateful for this opportunity and for all of those who came to build with us.

Dykes With Drills was proud to partner with Malcolm X Elementary School to build a new worm bin for their school garden. Even more special about this project is that we built the worm bin with youth! Thank you to Camp Beaverton for sponsoring this event and making it all possible. And thank you to everyone who came out and built with us!

Dykes With Drills spent a day at Rodgers Ranch to install a new worm bin and beautify the community garden. Rodgers Ranch Heritage Center in Pleasant Hill, is a non-profit that offers classes, community garden beds and other ways for folks to get more connected with the earth.

Formerly known as Friends of Rodger Ranch, the non-profit organization was formed in 1986 to raise money for the restoration, preservation and maintenance of the Rodgers Ranch Historic Site. In 1991 the 1867 buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places and represent the few remnants of California's wheat growing past and Pleasant Hill's oldest structures.

Dykes With Drills joined Habitat for Humanity for their Build With Pride community build in September.

Habitat is a proud partner of the LGBTQ community. In 1991, Steve Jacoby took the first steps toward bringing Habitat for Humanity to San Francisco. He died from AIDS before ever seeing the organization incorporated, but without his vision and work, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco would not exist today.

The Build With Pride event honors the memory of Stephen Blake Jacoby. Dykes With Drills was excited to partner this year with Habitat for Humanity and thanks the Golden Gate Business Association for making this volunteer build possible.
