Love is in the air in February! Valentine’s Day and Family Day remind us all to focus on the most important people in our lives. Habitat HEARTland would like to thank each person who has become a part of our family by volunteering with us, donating funds or products for our ReStores and sharing our vision of a world where every one has a safe and decent place to live. You have a chance to celebrate this work with us on Thursday, February 13 at a Key Ceremony for two local families on Forbes Street in London. This is a great opportunity to reflect on how many dedicated members of our community came together to turn an empty lot (formerly Manor Park School) lot into a neighbourhood with homes for 17 local families. We also invite you to visit our newest ReStore location at 611 Wonderland Road at Oxford Street in London.  It is our hope that this beautiful open-concept commercial space in North West London will make it possible for even more people to shop, donate and volunteer at the ReStore and find out about how Habitat for Humanity is making a difference in Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin and Perth counties. Please continue to visit our six additional ReStore locations in London, Woodstock, St. Thomas, Stratford and Listowel. Your visits to the ReStores make it possible for us to continue to make affordable homeownership a reality, which is what we love to do!

Now accepting applications from families in London and St. Thomas and also from individuals (in London) for our homeownership program.

Find out how you can qualify to own a home with a NO INTEREST, NO DOWN PAYMENT mortgage.

It began as an empty lot - the former site of Manor Park School and has grown into a beautifully diverse neighbourhood that is home to 17 Habitat families. This inspiring video was taken to promote our ongoing relationship with Tarion Warranty Corporation a little more than halfway through the project.

Sending your employees to a Habitat for Humanity build site isn’t just an investment in your community – it’s an investment in your team. While working together on the build site they’ll learn new skills, strengthen bonds with colleagues, and feel proud to work for your company!

Now booking corporate build days for 2020 in London and St. Thomas.

Join us to celebrate our new ReStore location at 611 Wonderland Road North in London.

There will be food, prizes, activities for children and more at the Grand Opening on February 29!
