If you have a big pile of empties after the recent heat wave, Saturday is the time to return them and help a great cause.

Habitat for Humanity Okanagan will be hosting a bottle drive on Saturday at its ReStore locations between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The stores are located on Enterprise Way in Kelowna and on Ross Road in West Kelowna.

The organization, which like all others had to change or postpone its fundraisers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, held a successful bottle drive in the spring and are looking to duplicate it this weekend.

“Your bottles build houses,” Habitat for Humanity Okanagan CEO Andrea Manifold said in a press release.

Habitat for Humanity’s goal is to provide affordable home ownership to those who need it most, and its fundraising efforts primarily go towards supplies needed for construction.

The bottles do not have to be sorted, and Habitat volunteers will be on hand to take them straight from your vehicle.
