We are happy to have 3 Home Dedications coming up. We will be handing keys over to two new partner families as well as having the dedication for another family that moved in to an existing Habitat home in January of this year.
In addition to this we are also part of the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project taking place across Canada building 150 homes in celebration of Canada’s 150th Anniversary. One of these homes is right here in Camrose. You can read more about the Carter Work Project here.
The Home Dedications will be a lunch BBQ, Wednesday, July 12th, 2017, from 12:00 – 1:00pm. Everyone welcome to come tour the homes and meet the Partner Families.

Every year Habitat for Humanity uses the ReStore warehouse to paint baseboards and trim for the homes we build in Camrose. SO we must clear out space in our Warehouse!
For one week everything in our back yard and warehouse is 50% off, and anything purchased must be removed by the end of the sale. Come prepared to get great deals on used items. You never know what we will have stored in our warehouse as it’s always changing. Generally there are some used cabinets, doors, windows and anything else we might have got donated throughout the year.
In 2017 the sale runs from April 25th to 29th.
