Habitat for Humanity Building Project

Posted by AFPA | October 6, 2017

This summer, AFPA member companies donated $75,000 worth of building materials to Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project. The project helped provide homes for 75 deserving families in Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan. We are really proud that sustainably  produced wood from right here in Alberta went to help give these families a home to enjoy their lives in. AFPA and member company staff also had the privilege of volunteering on the project and helping to build the homes. Learn more about their experiences by watching our video.
