About Habitat for Humanity Sarnia/Lambton
The work Habitat for Humanity Sarnia/Lambton is doing in the community has been making a difference for 30 years. Since 1994, we have been helping families across Sarnia/Lambton to build strength and self reliance through the power of home ownership.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that brings volunteers, community, corporate, and construction partners together to build safe, decent and affordable housing while promoting homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty. These homes provide a solid foundation for people to build better, healthier lives and every hand can help lift up a family in need of a safe place to call home.
Our Vision is a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. With the challenges and barriers Ontarians are facing with affordable housing, Habitat for Humanity affiliates continue to embark on build projects. Habitat for Humanity brings communities together to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through homeownership.
Participation in the Coldest Night of the Year on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 is a great way to support our efforts to build more homes every year in our surrounding communities for deserving families allowing us to further support more members of the community who are in need of a safe, decent and affordable home.
