“We are excited about spending the holidays in our new Habitat home, and carrying on our traditions, while also being able to create new ones with our children.”

Lisa / Habitat Home Recipient

We feel very fortunate to have a home to call our own;a home that our children can grow up into. It feels very comforting to know that we will no longer be at the mercy of landlords deciding to sell, and us having to move and uproot the children from their established neighbourhood and relationships within the community. It is paramount that the children have a secure and comfortable home they can rely on. We are incredibly grateful for this.”

James / Habitat Home Recipient

"For the two of us, home is a place; that new place is here. Forever our family need not worry of the hardship of obtaining a house due to Habitat's kindness. Our lives can prosper, and we can finally call this blessing our home. Thank you."

Jaime / Habitat Home Recipient

It has been a pleasure and honour to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, Mid-Vancouver Island. The staff are comprised of a great group of people; organized and easy to work with. Everyone should volunteer at least once!

What Are Habitat ReStores And How Do They Help My Community?

Habitat ReStores in Nanaimo and Duncan help build affordable homes—one donation, one purchase at a time. When you shop or donate furniture, appliances, or building materials to our ReStores, you’re supporting Habitat’s mission to build affordable housing for families across Mid-Vancouver Island. Every item sold helps fund our local homebuilding projects—and keeps usable materials out of the landfill. It’s a smart choice for your home, your community, and the environment.
