About the Calendar Project

Filled with local children’s artwork and information about HIP Housing, since 2001 our annual calendars bring warmth to thousands of homes, and educates the community about HIP Housing’s affordable housing programs.

3000+ calendars are printed and distributed throughout the community annually! The project is made possible by local sponsors. The artwork used in the calendar are selected from HIP Housing’s Calendar Contest.

Each year we receive hundreds of entries from children in kindergarten to 5th grade in San Mateo County. Children draw a picture of a home and writes a quote about “what home means to me.” The calendar has become a community favorite!

HIP Housing’s 2024 Calendar Contest is NOW CLOSED!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 contest! We received over 320 fabulous submissions this year! We appreciate all the thought and effort you put into your projects. 🎨🖌️

A special thank you everyone who joined us in July 2023 to celebrate the 20+ year history of this project at the HIP Housing’s Art Show! Your support helps to make this project possible!
