By Paul Latour On August 30, 2010 ·

Date?

Saturday Sept. 11th, 2010 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is a rain or shine event since the government deadline for matching funds is Sept 12th.

Where?

1720 Fairfield Road, Victoria, BC. (See map below.)

How?

You can simply drop items off in the driveway. It will be clear. Just drive right up and unload. There will be signs and a big double car garage for storage. If you can, call or email first. If not, just come!

When Can You Drop Items Off?

Any time after Monday August 30th.

What?

Please contribute only salable goods. If they are not sold we still have to dispose of them! If possible, please price all items before you give. A piece of tape with a marked amount is fine.

You can also contribute a service. If you are a painter, or a flower arranger, or a designer and would like to donate your services, just tell us what you do, how much time you’d like to donate, and we’ll suggest that people purchase your service rather than a item. Call for more details.

About Paul

Paul Latour is the founder of Hero Work, a program that inspires all sectors of community to come together and complete extreme renovations for non-profits who've been making a difference for years.
Never in his wildest dreams had he thought he'd be organizing extreme home makeovers. "The first one was done almost on a whim," he says. "I did it to help a friend in need." Then the power of friendship and community took hold. When the one-day event was over, a $25,000 reno was done.
It was as if his life had been orchestrated for the event. His skills as a waiter, writer, artist, editor, and speaker all coalesced into the ability to create a movement of inspired people and companies.
Ignited by making a radical difference, he did another makeover--this one five times bigger. A nongovernment funded charity--the Casa Maria Emergency Housing Society, who shelters refugee families--received a weekend extreme renovation worth upwards of a $100K.
A few of Hero Work's one hundred-plus business partners include: Castle Building Supply, Rona Home and Garden, Thrifty Foods, Six Mile Furniture, Garden City Landscaping, Maclean Lighting, and the Kitchen Technician. The program has been seen on Chek TV, A-Channel, the Times Colonist, Black Press, and Global TV.
"To make a radical difference doesn't take loads of money," Paul says. "It takes a good plan, inspired action, people-to-people connections, and a solid story."
