This Fall, we feel refreshed and reset with the launch of exciting new projects and events you will love!
As newsletter subscribers you get exclusive early-bird access to 50/50 for Humanity - a new fundraiser for Habitat Heartland that will give you a chance to win the jackpot! We are launching to the general public on October 14th, and it will only run for a short time, so be sure to buy your tickets early!!
We kicked off October with the St. Thomas Virtual Groundbreaking Ceremony on October 6th! We were joined on site by local dignitaries to highlight the importance and excitement of the new Habitat build in St. Thomas. There are many different ways you can get involved in our St. Thomas build at 34 Hiawatha Street! Participate in a Team Build Day, either in-person or virtually, with your friends and colleagues to help us build homes for two local families in St. Thomas. The every one virtual build is a great opportunity to fundraise and build with us virtually during the month of October!
All seven of our ReStores are stocked with product to give your home a refresh this Fall. You will find great deals in-store and online on products to update your home this season! Our construction crew and volunteers remain hard at work on four homes in Munsee-Delaware Nation for Indigenous families. We are looking for volunteer support on these builds, so if you're interested make sure to contact our Volunteer Manager for more information!
Thank you for your continued support, and stay well!
