Renee VanderHarst – How our Volunteers Help Us Build Community
Renee is the Manager of Volunteer Services with Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario, which serves six counties in southern Ontario; Brant, Elgin, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford and Perth. She has three diplomas; Broadcasting, Public Relations, and Volunteer management. Her first experience with Habitat for Humanity was as a volunteer, sanding drywall in a home in Simcoe, Norfolk County. That home was going to family that she knew through her involvement with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Renee has always believed that “where you live isn’t your community unless you do something to make it a better place.” That is lesson she and her husband work hard to pass on to their two children Jimmy 14, and Leona 11.
Wearing a mask at this event is strongly encouraged, based on the recommendation by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health for indoor gatherings.
