The Gift-Economy House of Kelowna
11,464 views
"Once in a while you are given an incredible opportunity to really make a difference in one family's life," said a group of volunteers in a small Canadian town of Kelowna. Just like a popular reality TV show, their idea was to demolish and then rebuild a new house -- yes, a whole new house! -- for an amazing family of nine in their community. There was only one caveat: it was 100% community funded! That's right. 45 contractors, hundreds of volunteers, and a whole lot of love. Watch the news clip about the demolition and the follow-up video of what happened on Dec 11, when the family actually moved in!
Be The Change

Watch the "Reveal" video to see move-in, and leave a comment of gratitude on the Project Family Room message board.

Look into donating housing supplies to those who need it. Volunteer to help build a home.
3
Gather a group to serve a member of your community: a blood drive, a hospice care group, you name it. The ideas are endless!
