Summer is officially here, and we are keeping busy in this beautiful weather!
We have builds set to start later this summer for a total of three local families in Drumbo and the County of Brant. One way you can support our upcoming builds is to become a Monthly Hopebuilder! Learn more about how you can get involved below.
All 9 of our ReStore locations are now OPEN for in-store shopping! We are operating at a reduced capacity following all provincial re-opening protocols, so thank you for your patience and cooperation. Our ReStores are stocked with great deals and are ready to serve you!
Thank you to everyone who supported our Sheds for Humanity fundraiser! The last call to buy your tickets is July 3rd, and the prize draw will be live-streamed on July 9th on our Facebook page.

Feature Family - Lindsie's Family
Lindsie and her children Mariah, Leah, and Noah became Habitat homeowners on Forbes Street in October 2019. Their home was our 2019 London Community Build, constructed by corporate-sponsored volunteers from the community.
Lindsie's family is all settled into their new home now and looking forward to the future. "This opportunity means a new beginning and prosperous future for my family," Lindsie says. "Our Habitat home is a place where my family can build memories, stability, and pride."

Habitat Canada Award: Victor & Gayle Fairthorne |
Victor and Gayle Fairthorne are a husband-and-wife team who have volunteered at our Stratford ReStore since 2018. Victor supports the recycling program, helping to divert metal waste from our landfills by ensuring it is responsibly recycled. He also re-purposes scrap metal into art for selling in the ReStores. Gayle supports our customer service, and her friendliness and helpfulness are always valued by the staff and other volunteers. Their decision to incorporate Habitat into their family life and contribute their time through the challenges that COVID-19 presents displays what kind of caring people they are. Thank you, Victor and Gayle, and congratulations on the Habitat Canada Volunteer Award!

Habitat for Humanity's first 3D printed home in US! |
|
Last month, we featured a story about a 600-square-foot 3D printed home in India, built with technology that was funded in part by Habitat for Humanity. This exciting emerging technology is now being used by Habitat's close to home. In early June, it was announced by Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona that they are building the first 3D printed Habitat for Humanity home in the United States.
The custom, single-story home, is currently under construction on a lot owned by the City of Tempe. The project combines 3D printing and traditional construction to create an innovative model for the future: a scalable, cost-effective homeownership solution to address the affordable housing crisis facing communities nationwide.
