How $400,000 in Habitat ReStore Sales (and Volunteers, Sweat Equity!) Fuels Affordable Homes for Families!

How does a non-profit like Habitat for Humanity do such incredible work to provide affordable housing to families? Through its volunteers, donations, and the money raise through its awesome ReStore thrift shops sales, of course! This week I sat down with Jeff Dee, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Metro (the local affiliate here in Maryland, DC, and Virginia) to talk about how Habitat for Humanity got started, how they design their homes for maximum efficiency, how it selects  families  to buy a Habitat home, the nurturing provided for these homebuyers, why volunteers are the lifeblood of this non-profit, and how and why you should consider volunteering with Habitat (even if you have no building experience). LINKS:Jeff Dee, President & CEO, Habitat Metro (Bio)Habitat for Humanity (find your local affiliate)Habitat for Humanity Metro (Maryland, DC, Virgina affiliate)Email Habitat Metro to sign up as a volunteer!See the current and completed projects for Habitat Metro!MENTIONED$500 designer chair I bought from ReStore (Galanter & Jones Kosmos Chair)Subscribe to my email list for 5 ebooks, printable, and checklists: https://thriftdiving.com/subscribeSubscribe to my YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/thriftdivingLet’s Connect!BlogYouTubeInstagramFacebookPinterestTikTokTwitterSupport the showWANT TO LEARN TO USE POWER TOOLS?
