The week of April 14 is National Volunteer Week in Canada! This week, Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia has been celebrating the many volunteers — including our Board of Directors, volunteers on build sites, ReStore volunteers, corporate volunteers and volunteer chapters — who work hard to make the dream of affordable homeownership a reality for families in Nova Scotia. 

Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia's work wouldn't be possible without the contributions of dedicated volunteers. Sharing your time, skills and creativity can change lives and empower communities. To everyone who has lifted a hammer, worked at the ReStore or advocated for affordable homeownership, thank you.

Help bring communities together to build strength, stability and independence for families in New Glasgow and the Halifax Regional Municipality. Build days and home sponsorships are available!
