Dear fellow Hanoverians:
South Shore Habitat for Humanity proudly announces the grand opening of its
first Habitat ReStore located at 357 Columbia Road in Hanover – next to
the new Planet Fitness on the southern end of Route 53.
The SSHH ReStore is modeled after many other successful Habitat ReStores
around the country. ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and
donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories,
building materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail
price. Habitat ReStores use the funds raised to support the local mission.
“We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter,”
stated Martine Taylor, Executive Director. “This store will enable us to
raise awareness about affordable housing, increase revenue, and engage more
volunteers in our mission.” Mark Anderson, the new ReStore Manager,
explained that, “every item donated and sold at the ReStore plays a vital
role in improving the lives of families in need of better housing, and at
the same time, we are doing our part to protect our environment,”
remarked Anderson.
The new Habitat Restore in Hanover is one of the more than 900 Habitat
ReStores located in the United States, Canada, Australia, South America,
New Zealand and Northern Ireland. In addition to the revenue generated for
its programs, ReStores help to protect the environment. In 2014, ReStore
donations diverted more than 128,000 tons of building materials from
landfills by giving reusable items a second life. To shop, donate, or
volunteer, visit www.sshabitat.org .
South Shore Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization

children. Today, South Shore Habitat homes are located in Abington,
