Nick joins Habitat for Humanity to cut the ribbon on the new ReStore
Nick Fish was very proud to join Joe Connell of the Habitat for Humanity
ReStore, Habitat CEO Steve Messinetti, PBA leadership, and community members to celebrate the grand opening of the new ReStore at 10445 SE Cherry Blossom Drive.
He also had the honor of making the very first purchase at the new location - a beautiful book of photos from National Geographic.
By selling donated home supplies at great prices, the ReStore helps local families take on home repair projects they might not otherwise be able to afford. Proceeds from the ReStore support Habitat for Humanity's homeownership mission. Not only that, the ReStore keeps millions of pounds of materials out of the landfill each year.
The new ReStore is beautiful and inspiring. We hope you'll check it out - to donate, buy, or both!
