Three years ago, the Portland Metro ReStore developed a plan to open two additional ReStore locations by 2011. The Clark County Habitat for Humanity Store opened in Vancouver, Washington in March 2009 and was an immediate success. Now, preparations are well underway to open the Washington County ReStore at 13475 SW Millikan Way in Beaverton this April. The combined proceeds from these three Portland Metro area ReStores represent an important source of funding to support Habitat’s home building efforts.
Alex Bertolucci, Washington County ReStore Manager, Colleen O’Toole, Washington County ReStore Volunteer Coordinator and Joe Connell, ReStore Director, are busy transforming the empty space into a well-designed, well-stocked ReStore. Among the first things they need are a box truck, a forklift and volunteers to help build-out the store. If you’d like to help with a donation or to volunteer, please contact Alex Bertolucci at 503.906.3823. Look for future progress updates on facebook and on the ReStore blog at pdxrestore.org/restories. We are thrilled to bring this ReStore to Washington County.

Not yet, but soon. All I can tell you for sure is that we won’t open this month. When we have a definitive date, we’ll post it on our website, on facebook, on twitter. We will all be very happy to see this store open. Thanks for checking in.
IS this place open yet?
We really appreciate your offer to volunteer! I’ll send your connect info to Colleen O’Toole, our volunteer coordinator for the Washington County ReStore.
looking for update on store progress and volunteer opportunities for myself and later for my husband. I am a hygienist, but I do metal art with welding, tile, have woodworking skills,ie;chopsaw, tablesaw, drills, etc. I have parts of days that I don’t work.
We don’t have a new date yet, and we’ll post it on our website, on facebook and twitter as soon as we can – we should set a date in the next couple of weeks. Keep checking in and thanks for your support!
The Washington County site is a wonderful idea. Now that we’re into April, can you tell me what the planned opening date is for the site?
Thanks,
Cari
