# [Kryton Helps Give a Hand Up for the Holidays](https://info.kryton.com/blog/2013/12/kryton-helps-give-a-hand-up-for-the-holidays)

For the first two weeks of December, the [Kryton](https://www.kryton.com/) team in Vancouver BC came together to raise money for our annual Holiday Charity. This year we chose [Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver](http://www.habitatgv.ca/default.aspx)!

With the cost of owning a home in Vancouver rising, hardworking families living in substandard housing value the support that Habitat for Humanity can offer, to help make their home ownership goals a reality.

Habitat also accepted furniture items as part of the donation, to sell at their [ReStores](http://www.habitatgv.ca/page.aspx?pageId=2), with several locations throughout Greater Vancouver ([CLICK HERE to find a location](http://www.habitatgv.ca/page.aspx?pageId=19)). The ReStores cover all operation costs for Habitat, so that when cash is donated, you can be sure the money is going directly to the home building efforts.

As usual at Kryton, there was some friendly competition with the men competing against the women to see who can raise the most for this great local organization. We are pleased to announce that all together; Kryton raised a total of **$6079.10**!

The men lost the challenge by a thin margin, and serenaded the winners at Kryton’s Annual Christmas Party at [Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar](http://www.roguewetbar.com/) in Gastown on December 14th.

Until next year!
