The team at Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan has a brand new ride, a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder, thanks to Nissan Canada Foundation.

The Saskatchewan organization received the vehicle through the foundation’s annual grant, which is available to all Habitat organizations across Canada. The vehicle was handed over at Moose Jaw Nissan on Aug. 7.

“This is our 10th vehicle donation through our partnership with Habitat Canada, reaffirming our commitment to supporting members of the communities in which Nissan operates,” said Tara Willis, senior manager of DEI and philanthropy, Nissan Canada Inc., in a news release. “We are thrilled and humbled to be able to hand over the keys of a Nissan Pathfinder to Habitat Saskatchewan this year to help the local team get closer to the community.”

This will be the first time Habitat Saskatchewan will have a dedicated company vehicle. Previously, the organization used personal vehicles or rented them.

“This partnership and grant giveaway exemplifies a spirit of collaboration and community, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have on our organization and the families we support across the province. With this vehicle, we can reduce transportation costs, increase efficiency, and enhance our ability to provide safe, affordable housing to those who need it most..” said Habitat Saskatchewan CEO Dave McEachern.

Since 2008, the Nissan Canada Foundation has donated more than $3.4 million to Habitat for Humanity Canada and contributed more than 11,000 volunteer hours to Habitat projects across the country.
