Habitat Edmonton celebrated our wonderful volunteers!

Volunteers are vital to the success of Habitat for Humanity. With their support, we continue to empower through affordable homeownership, providing a hand-up to Albertans so they can take control of their future. In 2023, 900 volunteers donated their time, collectively logging over 35,000 volunteer hours. As a result, 43 families became homeowners, who are now building strength, stability, and self-reliance.

On April 18, we celebrated our volunteers’ dedication and unwavering support. Our theme was western, so everyone dressed in their cowboy finest to enjoy food, drinks, and of course, good company. We also welcomed Servus Credit Union, presenting sponsor of our volunteer program. They have committed to providing funding for our volunteer program through 2025.
