Executives from The Brick Ltd. presented a $100,000 cheque to Habitat for Humanity Huron County for its 2013 build in Goderich.
GODERICH – A cheque for $100,000 from The Brick Ltd. will help fund the community build of a home in Goderich for a family of five.
Habitat of Humanity Huron County (HFH HC) won The Brick’s second Habitat home in the Build it with The Brick contest, after a nationwide online voting campaign that launched on Oct.17, 2012. Over 40,000 votes were registered between Oct. 17 and Dec. 15, 2012, with the town of Goderich coming out on top.
Senior Brick executives Jim Caldwell and Kirk Marleau presented the cheque to HFH HC at a presentation at The Brick in Goderich this past week. The Goderich build team, which is designated as a build led by women, came to the event dressed in pink. The Geldhof family, who will receive the house, were also there.
The Geldhofs have lived in Goderich for more than 25 years.
Jason and Carmen have three children, Trent, 13, Alivia, 12, and Nicole, 8.
HFH HC is a non-profit, non-government, incorporated charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of economically disadvantaged persons through home ownership with the belief that decent, affordable housing is a basic human need. It has built eight homes in Huron County since 2005, and is preparing for its second build in Goderich in 2013.
The local build has created a Facebook page for anyone interested in following its progress.
