At this time of year, our thoughts turn to those persons in our community who are struggling and who could greatly benefit from a hand-up.  With continued assistance from our community partners and successful fundraising, we will build two more homes in Brechin in 2012.  We sincerely thank all of those people in our communities who are supporting Habitat for Humanity Orillia/Lake Country in our efforts to build simple, decent homes for low- to moderate-income working families.  Habitat for Humanity Orillia/Lake Country may be building homes—but we are also building HOPE—hope in a brighter future for our partner families.  We wish you and yours a wonderful blessed Holiday Season and all of the very best for 2012!

Habitat for Humanity Orillia/Lake Country will be holding our 8th annual "Holes for Habitat" Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 14th, 2012 at Horseshoe Resort.  This is a Special Year as we will be building two (2) homes in Brechin in 2012!  Mark June 14th on your calendar and make sure that you register.

Casino Rama has once again made a wonderful commitment to partner with Habitat for Humanity Orillia/Lake Country with a very generous donation in the amount of $2,500.00.  This donation will be used to offset the cost of the water reservoir installation at the ReStore in order to allow us to open again to the public.  Thank you to Casino Rama for your continuing support of our organization.

We plan to break ground in late spring to build a semi-detached home to help two hard-working families make the transition from renter to homeowner.  You can help by supporting our SQUARE FOOT PROGRAMME.  Your commitment of $100 for one square foot could mean that our homes are one square foot closer to being built...perhaps even purchase more than one square foot!  Contact Carol at sharpe_carol@yahoo.ca for more information, and see the Donations page for more details.
