Habitat for Humanity Yorkton

Habitat for Humanity Yorkton is dedicated to eliminating sub-standard housing by building homes in partnership with the community, for working families in need. Habitat for Humanity is an independent, charitable, faith-based organization. We build simple, decent and affordable houses and provide interest-free mortgages to families who would not otherwise be able to purchase their own home. We believe that home-ownership provides a long-term solution to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Habitat for Habitat Grows Funds For Housing

By Andrew Rae, Fund Development Chair - Habitat for Humanity Yorkton, November 30, 2010

Despite the frightful weather, the severe flooding, the hail storms and a bit of unexpected wheat midge, the Habitat for Habitat Project 2010 actually managed to grow a crop and generate some revenue for Habitat for Humanity Yorkton.

Habitat_for_Habitat_4 Based on the success of the 2009 crop in Goodeve, Habitat for Humanity, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Viterra, Monsanto, Sygentia and our farm partner - Mr. Rod Wlock joined forces in 2010 to support Habitat in the Parkland region. Ducks Unlimited Canada, Yorkton Coop Agro, Yara Fertilizers, Bayer Crop Sciences, Morris Implements and our farm partner - Mr. Michael Yaholnitsky expanded this project by adding a new site by Rhein.

Rain was the norm for most of this summer and that unfortunately created incredible problems for all area farmers. The deluge was so significant that, in spite of herculean efforts of both farm partners, only one project site was successfully seeded. Much to his surprise, Rod Wlock managed to seed the Goodeve project site with food grade wheat. Despite the difficult growing season and conditions, Habitat for Humanity Yorkton's crop share is estimated at $8,500.00 (before inputs).
