Scarecrow Contest at Secluded Acres

Habitat ReStore’s Super Volunteer will be on display at Secluded Acres throughout the month of October. As you can see, this volunteer like all of our ReStore volunteers is able to juggle all things. We love all of our volunteers and appreciate everything they do for Habitat – from construction to ReStore, and even helping us build haunted exhibits. Happy October.

Shine Bright Like Kathy 150 150 Habitat for Humanity

Shine Bright Like Kathy

 

Kathy shines bright like a diamond, and so does the jewelry boutique she created in the ReStore! Kathy started by downsizing her own collection and donating her rarely worn pieces to the ReStore; seeing the speed that they sold, she started soliciting her friends and neighbors for their necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Taking time twice a week to polish and tag her new stock, she artfully drapes them on her displays, frequently selling pendants and bangles seconds after being placed on the shelves. Kathy brings sparkle to the ReStore and to our customers who enjoy their new jewels. Thank you, Kathy— you help us enjoy the finer things in life!
