October is EVERY ONE BUILD month

HABITAT COMMUNITY JOIN TOGETHER FOR EVERY ONE BUILD

It’s been a tough year for everyone, and at Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver, we have felt the impact both financially and with the temporary closure of our build sites in Richmond and Mission. This has meant that families desperate for safe and stable housing are waiting even longer, many of them front-line workers living in untenable situations while having to shelter in place.

As we try to recover, this October we have launched the every one build campaign, and we invite you to join us! WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER.

$50,000 goal to put a roof over the heads of families in need

We’re calling on the community to help us reach our goal and quite literally put a roof over the heads of families in need of a safe and affordable place to live, helping them to break the cycle of poverty.

There are many easy ways to show your support. If the Habitat Greater Vancouver community all signed up and asked just one or two friends to sponsor them $25,  together we would smash the fundraising goal and have the critical funds desperately needed to complete the six homes in Richmond and 19 in Mission.
