Happenings at the Habitat ReStore

August 21, 2009 by admin | 1 comment

Things have been busy over the last several weeks at the Habitat ReStore. We had our first plant sale, celebrated one year of business, and added an intern.

Thanks to Donna Latham at Midtown Garden Market we had our first plant sale. Dona generously donated her end of season plants as she operates seasonally. You can see from the picture we were alive with plants thanks to Isaac’s green thumb and hard work.

We served up free hot dogs as part of our 1st year birthday party. We served over 100 dogs to customers on the anniversary of our grand opening Saturday August 15th. Thanks to Berry, Irene, and Annie for making it so much fun.

And last but not least we have added an impressive co-op student from Wilkes Community College. Ray Townsell comes to join our ranks for his final semester in the business program. I can’t wait to see what his skills and experience will add.

New Week Day Hours To Serve You Better
Tuesday – Friday 9:30am – 5:30pm

The Habitat ReStore is building materials thrift store, open to the public, whose proceeds support Habitat’s mission of providing affordable housing.  The ReStore accepts donations of furniture, appliances, and buidling materials. 

In taking this time to let y’all know about our new store hours, we would also like to offer special thanks to Danny for all his hard work in helping to provide this unique way to support Habitat where you can shop, donate, or volunteer.

We couldn’t have done it without him.

The Habitat ReStore is happy to welcome Wade as our newest team member. Wade will be a customer services associate. His responsibilities will be to process donated appliances, furniture, and building materials to make them ready for the sales floor. Wade will also assist customers in finding the new and used items we have for sale. He is part of the Winston-Salem Urban League Program.  Make sure you give him a Wilkes County welcome.

A Special thanks to Bernabe and Sundry Works Group

I hope you all caught the story of how Sundry Works group has substantially blessed the ReStore. It is a great story and of course it has its characters. Bernabe De la Joya Plata is a shining star example of a hard worker. He has been faithfully working behind the scenes, often by himself, for the past 3 weeks.

We are going to miss him when he leaves this week. Please make a point to thank him for his work in helping to make our Restore the best possible ReStore it can be. I am grateful for his dedication and skill.

Click Isaac’s picture below to read the Wilkes Journal Patriot story on him. One cool thing is that the article is written by new Wilkes Habitat board member, Frances Hayes.
