Habitat for
Humanity Kelowna is happy to announce that its next building project will be
on the Westside where we have acquired property
to build two duplexes.
The date for the official ground-breaking ceremony will be announced later this spring.
"In the
past, we
built two homes in the Glenrosa area," chair Brigitte Reimer explains. "We are looking
forward to returning to the Westside where we have received tremendous support from the local residents and businesses."
Two
information evenings will be held for prospective Partner Families in mid-April, one on the Westside, the other in Kelowna.
As with all Habitat for Humanity projects, volunteers and donations will be an integral
part of providing homes for deserving families.
Habitat for Humanity Kelowna has built 17 homes to date in the Kelowna area.
