The Moose Jaw chapter of Habitat for Humanity is hosting its first-ever online 50/50 fundraiser, to help raise some funds for the current build project underway in the city.
The online draw will take place on Dec. 18, with tickets available to purchase online exclusively in the Moose Jaw area at $10 each.
The winner will take half of the pot raised, while the other half will be used to support the current ninth and 10th home build already under construction at 1015 Ominica Street East.
“It's nice to support a fundraiser where you know the funds are going to stay in the community,” said chapter lead Donna Watts.
Habitat Moose Jaw is still in the process of selecting two families to move into the duplex once it is finished, said Watts.
And with the pandemic disrupting a number of the organization’s usual fundraiser activities this year, Habitat Moose Jaw is grateful for any support from the community they can get for the project.
“Habitat home ownership provides families in Moose Jaw the opportunity to purchase a home at fair market value with an interest-free zero-down payment mortgage,” said Watts. “And I think it gives back to the community as well. It helps support a strong and vibrant community.”
