As we approach the close of another remarkable year, I find myself filled with deep gratitude for your unwavering support. Your generosity has helped us transform lives in ways that words can hardly capture, and I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact you’ve made.
because of YOU:
- 34 families have achieved the life-changing dream of homeownership, creating a foundation for a brighter future.
- Over 2,100 items were donated to our ReStores, giving families a chance to thrive and strengthening our community.
- 700 volunteers gave their time and hearts, contributing an extraordinary 30,388 hours, showing what it means to come together for a common cause.
memorable moments
We marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of several families by laying the first stone on four new Habitat homes in St. Albert, symbolizing not just the start of construction, but the creation of new opportunities.
We celebrated the completion of the Orest Myckan Legacy Build, a project named in honour of a man whose passion for community touched countless lives. Through the REALTORS® Community Foundation’s unwavering dedication, we opened the doors to forever homes for two remarkable families. This will remain a worthy tribute to Orest’s vision of a world where every family can thrive.
In Cold Lake, we turned blueprints into reality, building not just houses but foundations for four deserving families. These homes stand as beacons of hope, crafted with care for generations to come.
what’s next
In 2025, we’ll open not one, but two new ReStores, expanding our reach and welcoming even more communities into the Habitat family — more information to come!
Construction is set to begin on new builds in Sherwood Park and Leduc, with even more on the horizon, as we continue our mission of turning dreams of homeownership into reality.
Mark your calendars for June 19, 2025, when our Annual Golf Tournament returns, bringing together supporters for a day of camaraderie and impact.
And this World Habitat Day, we’re unveiling an innovative new event that will leave a lasting impression on our community, and we can’t wait to tell you more soon.
But as we look to the future, we must also face the realities of today: the economic landscape remains uncertain. Families who once gave generously are now tightening their budgets, and the need for affordable housing continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. These challenges remind us why our work is more vital than ever.
We’re asking for your help to ensure no one is left behind.
On the last day of 2024, let’s come together to build a brighter tomorrow — one home, one family, one donation at a time. Please consider giving the gift of hope today.
Thank you for being part of our Habitat Edmonton family. Let’s make 2025 even brighter – together.
With gratitude and warm wishes for the season,
Dr. Ann-Marie Reddy
