We’d like to put your know-how to work! The ReStore is recruiting business-savvy people who share our passion for Habitat and our passion for reuse.  This new team of volunteers will be tasked with building and expanding the ReStore’s current business partner donor base. “We’ve named this group our Volunteer Outreach Ambassadors,” said Mark Haley, business relations […]

When Orbelina (Lina) Santos del Cid attended her first Habitat for Humanity informational meeting in July 2013, she walked out shaking her head. She didn’t think she could work the 500 sweat equity hours  Habitat requires of each new homeowner. But, guess what – she did! By November of that year, she had already accrued half […]

Our motto “Something new (and used) every day” describes us well. Our ReStores typically run at a 70 – 30 ratio: 70 percent used product, 30 percent new product.
