Building Home: Every Step, Every Bid, Every Gift Makes a Difference
As the Moving for Good 2026 campaign continues, we're reminded that building a home takes more than bricks and mortar—it takes a community.
This year's Moving for Good campaign is raising funds to support SHOW’s capital campaign to build 10 new modular supportive housing units for older adults who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness. These homes will provide more than a roof over someone's head. They will offer safety, stability, dignity, and the wrap-around support that help older adults age with hope and independence.
Our campaign theme, Every Step Builds Home, reflects the many ways our community is coming together to make this vision a reality. Every person who registers for the walk, every donation received, and every conversation shared moves us one step closer to opening the doors to these new homes.
Introducing the "Bid to Build Home" Online Auction
This week, we're excited to launch another way for our community to get involved.
The “Bid to Build Home” Online Auction offers an opportunity to support SHOW while bidding on an incredible selection of items and experiences generously donated by local businesses and community partners.
Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, planning your next outing, or treating yourself, every winning bid helps support the creation of new supportive housing for older adults in Waterloo Region.
