Hello everyone! Welcome to Habitat for Humanity Western! We are so excited that you are here browsing our page. At Habitat, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and sustainable place to live. Together, our mission is to break the cycle of poverty and provide not only affordable housing but also encourage homeownership within the London Community. 1 in 8 families are faced with the decision to pay rent or to put food on the table. Through our numerous fundraising events, advocacy initiatives and countless volunteering hours, we strive towards making a family’s dream into reality by providing them with a safe and affordable home. Some of our past initiatives include Trivia nights, Paint nights, Yoga sessions, Krispy-Kreme fundraiser, Soccer tournament, Read-a-thon, and sending letters to the elderly. Habitat for Humanity’s most popular events include trips to the ReStore as well as going on local builds. Habitat ReStore’s is a place for volunteers to help build home supplies that are sold to create funds! Come talk to the team during club’s week and look out for director applications and General Meeting dates on our socials. Excited to meet everyone this year!
