Helping Richmond Habitat's Restore – October 2022 Volunteer Day
On October 28, Retex’s Katelyn Lewis, Mark Erickson, and Caleb Kammerling stepped away from the job sites – and Habitat Build sites – to put in some volunteer hours at Richmond Habitat’s ReStore in Northside.
Richmond’s two ReStores, one in Northside and another in Chesterfield, are “nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials and more to the public at a fraction of the retail prices,” according to Richmond Habitat’s website.
The proceeds from the ReStore’s sales enable Richmond Habitat to function, serve its community and make affordable and safe housing a reality for low-income families.
During their shift, Katelyn, "Peaches," and Caleb moved furniture, cleared off and organized shelves, and built new shelves to make the displays more accessible for potential buyers.
We love our volunteer days with Habitat, and look forward to our November shift in a few weeks!
