Andrea manifold, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Okanagan, said they are very grateful for the donation.
鈥淗abitat would normally have been the charity of choice for several fundraising events that were cancelled due to COVID-19 and we are still recovering from pandemic-related store closures last spring,鈥� she said.
