OSHAWA,
ON, July 4, 2024 /CNW/ - Geranium, a leading
and award-winning real estate development and new home building
company since 1977, proudly announces a three-year commitment to
Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area (Habitat GTA). With a
donation totalling $150,000 over
three years, this commitment stands as a testament to Geranium's
dedication to fostering community development, where the well-being
and growth of the communities they build in is a top priority.
This commitment will support Habitat for Humanity GTA's mission
to complete 26 homes to help 26 families know strength,
stability and independence by unlocking the benefits of
homeownership in Oshawa, in
addition to future projects in Durham Region. Through combined
resources, expertise, and passion, Geranium's and Habitat GTA's
collective efforts will help drive meaningful change. Already, many
families, including dozens of children, are moving into the Habitat
homes in Oshawa and are beginning
to thrive.
"Thanks to this tremendous partnership and collaboration,
Geranium is helping to change lives for dozens of families who are
facing a housing affordability crisis in Oshawa and the wider Durham Region by making
homes possible," said Habitat GTA CEO Ene Underwood. "It's also
clear that Geranium's dedication goes beyond financial support; by
participating in Build Days, Geranium's team members are taking a
real hands-on approach by grabbing a hammer and helping to build
these affordable homes, something that shows they are truly
committed."
"At Geranium, we believe that building homes is not just about
constructing houses, but about nurturing the communities within
them. We're passionate about home building and compassionate
towards those in our community who need a helping hand," said
Cheryl Shindruk, Executive
Vice-President at Geranium. "We're excited to enhance our
relationship with this incredible organization through a three-year
commitment that includes both substantial financial support and
inspiring volunteer opportunities for our entire team. Together, we
can build stronger, more resilient communities that thrive well
into the future."
As part of this commitment, Geranium staff from all departments
will volunteer at a Team Build Day each year. The 2024 Build Days
took place on June 12, 18, 19, and 20
in Oshawa, ON. Team Build Days provided employees with a
hands-on opportunity to contribute directly to the construction of
homes and make a positive impact in our community, connecting with
families in need.
"Participating in the Team Build Day was an incredibly rewarding
experience," said Christine Flynn,
Manager, Integrated Technology Solutions at Geranium. "It was
inspiring to see our efforts come to life and know that we are
making a tangible difference in the lives of families in need.
Working alongside our colleagues, witnessing the collective
dedication and hard work, truly showcases the impact we can have
when we come together with a common purpose. This experience not
only strengthened our team bond, but also reaffirmed our commitment
to giving back to the community in meaningful ways."
Through this commitment, Geranium aims to support the
construction of homes and raise awareness about the importance of
getting involved in the communities they build in. By involving
team members in this mission, Geranium hopes to create a ripple
effect of goodwill and community support. For more information
