On September 29 and 30, 2012, the design district of King East will bring together the leaders in design and architecture and the design savvy public of Toronto to support Habitat for Humanity Toronto and want to bring awareness to their ReStore program.
Attendees will have the opportunity to obtain a passport by making a $10 donation to Habitat for Humanity Toronto. This passport will chronicle their journey to the individual locations, where an interactive and educational design experience will be offered.
How will your support help?
The funds contributed from the King East Design will give a local family support in achieving home ownership. This includes the ability to the purchase materials needed to develop houses at Habitat’s 4572 Kingston Rd build site.
Will your support make a difference?
The donations collected from the King East Design District Exhibition will help make the homes complete for year-end. This means that families should be able to move in before the winter holidays!
How are these houses being made?
Funds donated through the King East Design District Exhibition and other great events like last weekends Fall Home show demonstrate to people a variety of ways they can support Habitat for Humanity Toronto. On way is to donate building materials etc. to the ReStore , which sells quality, gently, used renovation materials to homeowners and contractors at a fraction of the initial cost.
What so what are funds from the Re-Store cover?
Revenue from the stores cover the charities administrative costs, so that every penny donated at events, such as the King East Design District Exhibition, can support housing.
The donations will allow families to focus on education, employment and creating family memories that will last a lifetime, instead of worrying about living conditions.
