BRAMPTON - Habitat for Humanity Brampton’s retail outlet gratefully received a major donation recently  that it will share with Habitat affiliates across Ontario over the next few months.
Custom Building Products Canada Ltd., based in Mississauga and Muir’s Cartage Limited of Concord delivered 40 skids of ThinSet mortar, Pre-mixed grout and tiling tools and supplies to the Rutherford Road ReStore in Brampton. ReStore manager, Daryl Morrison, said he plans to advise Ontario’s 34 Habitat affiliates that the tiling products are available for delivery to any HFH home build site or to the local ReStore for distribution to the public.
Ed Brownsett, distribution centre manager of Custom Building Products and Ray Barrett of Muir’s Cartage were on hand for the delivery.
Major supplier
CBP is a major supplier and Muir’s Cartage is the Core Carrier for Home Depot Home in Ontario and Atlantic Canada.
Home Depot is a national supporter of Habitat for Humanity and is a prime sponsor of the Elliott House Heritage House restoration project in Brampton scheduled to be completed later this summer.
ReStores’ Morrison concluded, “This is yet another example of the ideal partnerships Habitat Brampton would like to build between the public, private and charity sectors. When we come together with the common goal to increase the availability of affordable housing as a means to end the cycle of poverty, the whole community shares in the benefits.
Gifts-in-kind like this one from Canada Building Products allow us to devote our resources to build more homes and build hope for our Partner Families.”
