WHAT: Habitat Victoria is hosting a Grand Opening Celebration for their new ReStore location
WHERE: 721 Vanalman Ave., Victoria, BC
WHEN: Saturday, November 18, 2023, 9:45 – 10:00 am Ribbon-cutting, greetings from community dignitaries and families served. 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Store hours.
Habitat Victoria is enormously grateful to this generous community. In 2022, our ReStores diverted over 2.7 million pounds, over 236,000 new or gently used items, from landfill. It is our hope that moving into a larger space will enable us to do even more in the coming year. By shopping and donating to the ReStore, supporters also help contribute to Habitat’s mission of building strength, stability, and independence through affordable homeownership.

About Habitat for Humanity Victoria Habitat for Humanity Victoria brings communities together to help families build strength, stability, and independence through affordable homeownership. Founded in 1990, Habitat Victoria has built 34 homes and served 39 families in the Capital Regional District to date.
Through volunteer service, efficient management, funder support and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat for Humanity Victoria builds safe, decent, and affordable houses. Habitat houses are then sold to qualifying partner families and financed with affordable mortgages. In addition to mortgage payments, each homeowner invests hundreds of hours of their own labour through volunteer service into Habitat projects, including building their own home and the homes of others partner families, as well as its ReStores and events.
