The Source: A Community- minded Company Helping to Build Homes and Hope

The Source, one of Canada's top consumer electronics and accessories retailers, is pleased to be partnering with Habitat for Humanity Canada, to build homes and hope this holiday season. Earlier this year, The Source chose to expand their support of Habitat by raising enough money to sponsor the build of a Habitat home in Barrie, Ontario for a family in need. By investing locally and engaging their own employees on the build site, The Source demonstrated their commitment to giving back to the community.

"The Source takes great pride in our communities, as well as the great partnership that we've established with Habitat for Humanity Canada. This project is a testament to the spirit of our employees and this organization's commitment to giving back." - Ron Cuthbertson, President & CEO, The Source

This particular Habitat home is a barrier-free project that will accommodate a family with two young boys confined to wheelchairs. In this way, Habitat is not only helping to lower the family's monthly payments by providing a more affordable home, but also providing a safer, more accessible environment for the two growing boys and their mother to reside, while enabling them to thrive in a place they can call their own.

"It is truly inspiring to see a company and their employees so engaged in our cause. I have heard them say 'I want to build again!' and we're happy to have their help."

- Melody Edwards, HFH Huronia's Executive Director

The enthusiastic team of volunteers at The Source have contributed approximately 200 hours on the build site to date and all 28 employees have had the team building experience of a lifetime! Habitat Huronia's Executive Director, Melody Edwards, says The Source team has been a pleasure to work with and have been dedicated contributors to the project.
