The Dauphin Chapter of Habitat For Humanity officially kicked off their fundraising campaign.
The group began fundraising last night to raise money for the second build.
Fundraising committee member, Wayne Olson, is excited about the big donation the group received in support of their $250,000 goal.
“One of the things tonight that we wanted to showcase was that Rotary just gave us a cheque for $10,000 that will go towards the build. We are going to be out in the community and we’re going to ask people to help us help a family in the community.”
Rotarian Kathy Bellemare attended the event last night and says Rotary thinks it’s important to help give a hand-up to members of our community.
“We believe that all members of the community are important. This provides us an opportunity to give someone an opportunity to own a home and that’s really powerful.”
Habitat is holding fundraising events throughout the community until they’re able to raise the required amount of funds to begin construction.
