Our History:
Habitat for Humanity Huron County has its roots in late 2003. A small group of people from Hensall United Church formed a seed committee to determine the interest in such a project, talking to various people including a group from Wingham who had already been working in the north end of the county. It was determined that a county wide initiative might be the best way to get started. From that small beginning, the organization began to take shape. Since our inception we have built, on average, a house each year and have opened 3 ReStores to help with administration costs and to support the Build Program.
