Submitted photo Habitat ReStores have helped build homes in Garland County

Garland County Habitat for Humanity ReStore continues its momentum in 2018 and celebrates its 23rd year in the county.

All three ReStores continue to work on raising funds to provide housing in Garland County by selling quality merchandise at affordable prices for its customers. They remain mindful of resources by recycling almost 90 tons per month of material that would otherwise wind up in the landfill.

According to Ben Baker, ReStore director, the ReStores are building material recycling centers that sell new and donated used building materials, furniture, appliances and more at bargain prices to the public, with proceeds going toward the building of Garland County Habitat for Humanity homes.

The ReStores are located at 305 Malvern Ave., 3825 Highway 7 north, and 2817 Airport Road. All three stores will pick up donations in their respective areas. They have accomplished

a lot in the last several years, funding 40 percent of the houses built in Garland County.

The increased sales from all three ReStores have provided more fuel for Habitat’s mission with more revenue generated at a faster pace to help build homes. The merchandise is put to good use, and they help customers save money by outfitting their homes with good materials at greatly reduced prices.

They always need quality donations of household goods and building materials to sustain all three ReStore locations. So keep the ReStores in mind when you are remodeling or refurnishing your homes or need to get some slow-moving items out of your business.

“But remember, whether you are shopping, donating or volunteering at any of the ReStores, you are helping us help others one house at a time. The houses we build are decent, affordable homes sold to selected, hardworking individuals who are willing to partner with Habitat.”
