of energy paid by the low-income families moving in. Habitat homes also include Energy Star certified appliances, further reducing the energy used by the homes. Habitat Toronto operates three ReStores in the Toronto area. ReStores also conduct salvages, where a group of volunteers travel to homes and disassemble kitchens and other units and transport them to the ReStores. The ReStores help redirect larges amounts of materials from landfills to homebuilders and renovators. The ReStores grossed $2.5 million in 2009 while redirecting 1,497 metric tons of reusable construction materials from landfills. The average cost for a Habitat Toronto home is between $100,000 and $120,000. Mortgage payments from Habitat Toronto homeowners go directly into a trust to build more Habitat homes. The Habitat model empowers families to help other families. For every 12 homes built in Toronto, one additional home per year can be built from the mortgage income alone. Habitat Toronto holds many special events during the year at build sites and other venues. These events can be a special build day for a celebration such as Mother's Day Build. Actress and supermodel Monika Schnarre participated in the 2010 Mother's Day Build with her mother. Each year Habitat Toronto holds a "blitz build" that targets a specific group and tries to get a large portion of that group out to build. In 2009, the organization held a Women Build event where 300 female volunteers helped build 16 homes in Scarborough. Habitat Toronto also holds an Annual Gingerbread Build in December where children are able to build gingerbread houses to help raise funds for the building of safe, decent and affordable homes. Habitat for Humanity Toronto has been awarded numerous times for their work in the community. They were presented with an Urban Leadership Award for Renewal in 2010. The City of Toronto also honoured the organization in 2010 as an Affordable Housing Champion in Toronto.
