How do we do it?
HFH Heartland Ontario brings together members of the community from
all walks of life to build decent affordable homes in the area.
Corporations, faith communities, service clubs, professionals and
individuals donate funds and gifts-in-kind, their time, labour and
expertise.
A few staff and an army of volunteers help organize these resources.
