Habitat Montreal ReStore re-launched

Everyone has in some form or another heard of Habitat for Humanity but few in Quebec have heard of the ReStore. As their website states, "The Habitat for Humanity Montreal ReStore sells quality, new and gently used furniture, appliances, home décor items, building and renovation materials to the public at greatly reduced prices." All proceeds help cover the administrative costs including the construction of affordable homes for families in need in Quebec.

Check out this recent CTV News Montreal spotlight on Habitat for Humanity Montreal. Paul Karwatsky interviews Isabel Singh (President & CEO for Habitat for Humanity Montreal) and Kathy Raymond (Director of ReStores) about the organization and ReStores.
 
Last week, the Habitat Montreal ReStore re-launched their hardware trift store concept. Anyone looking to renovate their home or investment property should stop by the store. Under Kathy's leadership, I am really impressed with the changes, growth and new ideas.

Check out the Habitat Facebook page to learn more, see what new products are in-store this week or maybe even volunteer.

Habitat for Humanity Montreal needs our help

Hey Everyone, from time to time I help out at Habitat for Humanity Montreal. They do some amazing work here in Quebec by building home for those less fortunate. Habitat Quebec has a Montreal-based retail hardware store, called the ReStore where sales proceeds help fund their builds. The products that are sold in the store are donated by suppliers. I'm on the hunt to help find more suppliers that can donate overstock products or renovation materials. Also, on a weekly basis Habitat rents a truck to pick up donated products. The monthly rental costs are incredible. My second mission is to help find a 19 foot truck that can be donated or loaned on a "long-term" basis. If anyone can help me out that would be incredible and would make a huge impact for Habitat.

Thanks. Have a good rest of the week.
