Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
South Shore Habitat for Humanity proudly announces the grand opening of its
\nfirst Habitat ReStore located at 357 Columbia Road in Hanover \u2013 next to
\nthe new Planet Fitness on the southern end of Route 53.<\/p>\n
The SSHH ReStore is modeled after many other successful Habitat ReStores
\naround the country. ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and
\ndonation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories,
\nbuilding materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail
\nprice. Habitat ReStores use the funds raised to support the local mission. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter,\u201d
\nstated Martine Taylor, Executive Director. \u201cThis store will enable us to
\nraise awareness about affordable housing, increase revenue, and engage more
\nvolunteers in our mission.\u201d Mark Anderson, the new ReStore Manager,
\nexplained that, \u201cevery item donated and sold at the ReStore plays a vital
\nrole in improving the lives of families in need of better housing, and at
\nthe same time, we are doing our part to protect our environment,\u201d
\nremarked Anderson. <\/p>\n
The new Habitat Restore in Hanover is one of the more than 900 Habitat
\nReStores located in the United States, Canada, Australia, South America,
\nNew Zealand and Northern Ireland. In addition to the revenue generated for
\nits programs, ReStores help to protect the environment. In 2014, ReStore
\ndonations diverted more than 128,000 tons of building materials from
\nlandfills by giving reusable items a second life. To shop, donate, or
\nvolunteer, visit www.sshabitat.org . <\/p>\n
