This partnership between Western Financial Group and Habitat Canada will see $60,000 contributed to initiatives over two years, as well as employee volunteering organized by the Western Financial Group Communities Foundation.
Western takes great pride in supporting communities through impactful donations and volunteering efforts that make a difference. Habitat Canada’s mission aligns with Western Financial's values. This partnership will contribute to Habitat Canada’s well-established programs which bring communities together to help families build strength, stability, and independence through affordable home ownership.
“At Western, we have always placed an emphasis on giving back to our local communities. This partnership with Habitat for Humanity Canada is a natural fit for Western as we are focused on our local communities and providing peace of mind and protection to all Canadians,” says Kenny Nicholls, President & CEO of Western Financial Group. “We are looking forward to supporting Habitat Canada’s programs which provide housing security and family stability.”
Support for Habitat Canada begins with the Quote to Give Campaign. From October 24, 2022, to December 2, 2022, for every home or auto quote and any personal insurance quotes received, $5 will be donated to Habitat Canada’s Every Youth Initiative which aims to empower every youth through the Habitat experience.
“We are grateful to have the support of Western Financial Group and its customers. Your donations will help support Habitat homebuilding efforts across Canada while providing youth with an opportunity to gain valuable trade and life skills – and help us continue our work partnering with Indigenous communities to build safe places to call home. Through our new partnership, we look forward to continuing Western’s legacy of building stronger communities.”
