Chamber Helps Launch Loma Linda Homes for Heroes Branch

Tarbell Realtors and the Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon cutting to launch the local branch of the Homes for Heroes program on Wednesday.

The event will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Community Room at Loma Linda City Hall, 25541 Barton Road.

Homes for Heroes is a company that partners with Realtors, lenders and other real estate service providers from around the country to offer substantial rebates and discounts toward the purchase of homes to those who serve our country, cities and towns, program officials said.

“Our heroes include military personnel, firefighters, law enforcement officers and others who make our communities a better place to live,” according to the program’s website.

This program was created after the tragic events of Sept. 11 as a way to thank the men and women who serve their communities. Heroes who sign up are matched them with Homes for Heroes Affiliates in their area.
