Thank You Gardner Glass Products

Gardner TruckWilkes Habitat for Humanity would like to thank Gardner Glass Products for the generosity and support. 

Habitat’s mission is to fight poverty housing in Wilkes County and we can’t do it with out partners like Gardner.  Our goal is to provide safe, decent affordable housing to those who couldn’t otherwise afford a home. Gardner Mirros

 

Gardner’s donation of mirrors to the Habitat ReStore will go a long way towards raising funds for more Habitat homes.  Thanks to Gardner for their concern for affordable housing in Wilkes County, North Carolina.

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.

What a blessing to see a corporation that started in Wilkes County give back so much to the country.  See the press release here.  This is a great story that celebrates Lowe’s, an important employer in our community. We should all be proud of Lowe’s success and generosity.

Celebrating the Community of Wilkes

I am hoping to publish a couple of posts celebrating the community in which we live and serve. I am starting with WKBC’s Friday morning radio production of the “Home Town Opry.” A special thanks to Steve Handy and Ed Racey who give the ReStore live commercial spots at the Opry.

This multimedia production is great, click the photo below to see my friend Nathan Clendenin’s work.
