North Island Habitat for Humanity is celebrating a $100,000 donation from Coastal Community Credit Union that will help build affordable housing for families in the region.
Despite the donation being made in 2024, the public announcement was delayed.
This allowed Habitat for Humanity to create a tribute video capturing the full story of Coastal Community’s support for its cause.
“This wasn’t just a gift — it was a commitment to community that we wanted to recognize in a meaningful way,” said Sara Lopez, communications and fundraising director at Habitat for Humanity VIN.
On top of the donation, the credit union has provided financial and mortgage literacy support for all future Habitat homeowners and joined volunteers on build sites.
This donation is part of Coastal Community’s “Sharing Our Success” initiative – an initiative that has funded more than $1.6 million towards community-based projects across Vancouver Island.
The $100K contribution will help start fundraising efforts for 461 Hilchey Road in Campbell River, which is part of a plan to build more homes for families in need of safe, stable housing.
