Build Activity on the Horizon

The rewarding sound of hammers and saws have been sadly silent on our build sites for many weeks now. Ensuring the safety of volunteers, staff and trades meant that we had to put a hold on build progress. As the next few weeks bring about increasing economic and social activity with the loosening of restrictions in our communities, we look forward to that familiar buzz of construction activity again!

In Mission, crews will be busy building the foundations for 8 of the 19 homes on that site. In Richmond, we will be pouring concrete for the interior floors on six units and completing exterior building wrap and stucco preparation. Both of these sites will be very active this year with lots of opportunities for involvement from the summer onwards.

It has been a difficult 2 months for all of us as our routines, work life and family dynamics have had to shift beyond what any of us could have imagined when this year began. Millions of families have been staying home but not all of them in a safe and healthy environment. These are the families, many of whom are front line workers, who need us most and we are eager to get back to building homes for them!

As life begins to start to resemble our expected normal over the next number of weeks, we will gradually start to safely welcome volunteers and groups back to our build sites where we will, together, resume our efforts of changing lives forever. Contact us here for any Build Day enquiries.

Until then, stay safe, stay tuned for our updates and, if you are able, join us now by making a financial donation to help us rebuild from the devastating blow of the COVID-19 pandemic.
