about us

Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North is a not-for-profit organization working toward a world where everyone has a safe, suitable, and affordable place to call home. Habitat for Humanity brings communities together to help families build strength, stability, and independence through affordable housing. By the end of 2025 we will have partnered with our communities to build over 74 homes, providing safe, affordable housing for more than 132 children and their families.

The Parry Sound Chapter began in 2010 as the Parry Sound Adopt-A-Home Committee; a group of dedicated local volunteers worked toward the completion of the first community build project on Emily St. in 2013. When territories amalgamated into Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North in 2014, Parry Sound became an official chapter. Since then, our dedicated Parry Sound chapter members have built 3 more homes. We have served 4 families total in the Parry Sound area. In support of this important work, we host three annual fundraising events: the Yard Sale, the Golf Tournament, and the “Hat-Trick” Hockey Raffle.

This year, we are excited to announce a build project that will create a new affordable housing opportunity in Parry Sound. The future home at 19 Hillcrest Avenue will be located in a welcoming residential neighbourhood, just steps away from local amenities—bringing safe, stable, and affordable housing one step closer for a local family. To ensure completion by our target date of 2026, we are actively fundraising for the next phase of this project. You can support us by taking part in our Giant Yard Sale, Golf Tournament, or Hat-Trick Hockey Raffle—or by making a monetary donation. Every contribution helps bring us closer to making this home a reality.

Our 13th annual Giant Yard Sale & silent Auction raised more than $32,000 for the Hillcrest Avenue build!

It’s a wrap for Parry Sound’s Biggest Yard Sale of the Year!

The Parry Sound Chapter’s 2025 Giant Yard Sale took place this Labour Day long weekend at Dunn’s Parry Sound Self Storage, 15 William Street, Parry Sound. The three-day event was a huge success, raising more than $32,000 for the Chapter’s affordable build project at 19 Hillcrest Avenue.

Soon, we’ll be accepting donations for the 2026 sale! Watch this space for details and to donate to next year’s sale and silent auction.

Thank you to all who donated, shopped, and showed your support. It made a difference!
