Ron Winner, co-chair for the Annual Ride for Homes event, states, “I ride for Habitat because, as a community, Cape Cod desperately needs to keep our young, working families here, and we can’t do that without affordable homes for them to build their life and remain a vital part of the fabric of Cape Cod.” In 2022, 89 riders raised over $82,000 to help the organization bridge that funding gap. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod’s work depends on the generosity of the Cape Cod community.
