Official Opening Of Habitat For Humanity ReStore In Uxbridge

Official Opening Of Habitat For Humanity ReStore In Uxbridge

Kathy's First Habitat Build

Located at 141 Reach St., Unit 7 the new ReStore will also act as a warehouse for the two other stores in Durham Region serving as the distribution centre for the Region. Habitat for Humanity Durham is based out of Ajax Ontario

Back in 1986 someone had the idea that a great way to turn unused material, that had been donated for building, into cash to help other builds was to open a store to sell it, often at discounted prices. Since its inception the number of stores has grown to 65 across Canada and The U.S. for a listing of all stores visit www.habitat.org.

GTA Realtors Help support Habitat For Humanity by volunteering for builds such as the one in Toronto that Barb Blower and I worked on for a day and by financial donation through our Realtors Care Foundation.

There is a Misconception that the people who get a Habitat House do not have to pay for it. Remember the recipients of these home are not getting a hand out but a hand up.

They pay for the house based on its appraised value when completed not the cost to build it
