ReStore Grand Opening

The Merrimack Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore formally
located on Union Street in Lawrence, has moved to 647 Andover St.
Lawrence.  Come celebrate a bigger,
better ReStore at the Grand ReOpening on Saturday Nov 16 from 10:00am –
4:00pm.  “Board” cutting by local
dignitaries scheduled for 10:30am. Refreshments, tours, kid activities,
reuse/repurpose workshops, giveaways and fantastic bargains all day long. Be
one of the first 500 through the door for a special gift.

The ReStore is a home improvement and home accessories
retail outlet open to the public. It accepts and sells new and gently used
building materials, furniture, working appliances less than 7 years old, home
improvement and decorative items. Whether it’s windows or wine glasses, doors
or decorations, a kitchen or a couch, the ReStore has something for everyone at
bargain prices.  All items are marked at
least 50% below retail prices.

In addition to shoppers, the ReStore depends on donors.
Donating to the ReStore benefits the community in so many ways. It’s
environmentally friendly—keeping unwanted yet usable items out of landfills.
Bring in that faucet that never got installed, or the extra forks sitting in a
box. Every donation is a tax deduction. Donor can even schedule pick-ups of
larger donations with the ReStore staff. And pick-ups are free! So, not only do
donors get tax breaks, they save on disposal fees too.

All profits from the ReStore are used to help fund local
home building projects. More specifically, the Merrimack Valley Habitat for
Humanity builds simple, affordable, homes in partnership with people who need
them. Since its founding in 1985, it has built or rehabbed more than 80 homes
in Lawrence and surrounding communities. These homes are sold at cost and with
no-interest mortgages to low-income families who spend hundreds of hours
helping to build their own or another Habitat home.
