“It’s a tough market to get into so giving back and providing for families to have their own homes and own bedrooms is an experience I was personally involved in,” Sanchioni said. “My old neighbour actually got a Habitat home so, watching that be built from the ground up and then seeing her face light up when she got to enter her new home with her three children. It’s a great experience – and what a great program and partnership to be a part of.”
Next up for Habitat Okanagan, another bottle drive is happening Saturday, Jan. 14, at the Re-Stores in Both Kelowna and West Kelowna.
