Habitat for Humanity – Red Deer Project 2005 June 7 , 2005

Central Alberta Branch’s series of “ Lunchtime Forum” events, held every first Tuesday of the month.

Habitat for Humanity (HfH) is an independent, charitable, faith-based housing program dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing by building homes in partnership with families in need around the world. HfH builds simple, decent, and affordable houses and provide interest-free mortgages to families who would otherwise not be able to purchase their own home. The Habitat program is about home ownership and providing a long-term solution designed to break the poverty cycle. (For more information, see http://habitat.ca/abouthabitatc1.php). APEGGA’s Central Alberta Branch, as part of our Legacy Project for the Alberta centennial year, has decided to help this organization in 2005.

The Red Deer chapter plans to double their efforts in 2005, by building 4 townhouses; each will be two stories and about 130 square metres. Kim Pasula and Raymond Morin, Directors of HfH Red Deer Region, will present a background of HfH, with specific emphasis on the Red Deer chapter and the 2005 project. They will also answer your questions about volunteering on this project.

This presentation may be of interest specifically to those members who are looking to volunteer at such an organization, and generally to all members.
