Shelter. Comfort. Family.
"Home" can mean many things to many people.

Habitat for Humanity Canada and Genworth Financial Canada are asking students in grade 4, 5 and 6 across Canada to tell us what "home" means to them by entering the Meaning of Home Contest.

By entering, students have the chance to make a difference in their community. In addition to some great prizes, the top entry will be part of the ultimate gift - the building of a Habitat home sponsored by Genworth.

Each eligible entry received in the Contest will have $5.00 CAD donated to Habitat For Humanity location closest to their postal code or city of residence on each entrant's behalf. 6,000 eligible entries will be eligible for the Habitat For Humanity donation.
