A HOME IMPROVEMENT AND DIY THRIFT STORE

BY ANN PARK

Affordable housing is a difficult thing to find for many people these days. That’s what makes the Weber Habitat for Humanity ReStore an excellent local resource for people needing a place to live. Wendy Vinhage, the Executive Director, said, “The calls for help keep coming in every day.”

Independently owned Habitat for Humanity ReStores has been helping people fix their homes for nearly fifty years.

“You’ll find everything from tile to plumbing and electrical supplies to cabinets and furniture,” said Executive Director Wendy Vinhage. “It’s a home improvement thrift store with every kind of lighting you can imagine.”

Be sure to mark your calendars for our 50% off sale on the last Saturday of each month. Also, check out our new monthly drawing. We have excellent prizes each and every month.

Vinhage says affordable home ownership is the biggest issue she’s seen in her nonprofit work, and it's the number-one way people can remain stable. She believes everyone should have the opportunity to achieve and build home equity. “That’s what gets me up in the morning.”

“We are always in need of gently used donations of almost everything. Make us your Donation Destination.” If you’re an individual or business wanting to donate time or resources, contact Matt at the store or at matthewfarmer@habitatwd.org.

“We would like to give a huge thank you to Wendy Vinhage our past Executive Director who is no longer with the organization. She did an amazing job that we will never forget,” says Matthew Farmer, who has stepped in to take over the role.

“We look forward to continuing our work to serve our communities in need.”
