On October 10th, a team from our Coopersburg office donated their time to help Habitat for Humanity ReStore get their facilities ready for the grand opening!
Habitat for Humanity ReStore program helps provide deserving families and children with a stable home and a safe neighborhood in which to grow and thrive. The Habitat mission is to offer families in need a hand up, not a hand out, and to walk alongside them as they realize the dream of home ownership. Each of our families contributes 250 hours of sweat equity to help build their home and the homes of their neighbors. Once in residence, they make monthly mortgage payments. Since most of our families are new to home ownership, HLV stays in contact with them, guiding them and providing support to ensure their successful transition to home ownership.
Funds generated from your Habitat Lehigh Valley ReStore purchases and donations not only support not only the Homeownership program, but also our Home Repair program. Habitat Lehigh Valley‘s Home Repair program helps low to moderate income families safely age in place with special attention given to exterior repairs like weatherization, safety, security, doors, windows, brick repointing, painting, ADA accessibility, etc.
Home repair programs across the country are critical because families need to live in safe and well-maintained homes, neighborhoods then become revitalized, community connections are made and affordable housing inventory is preserved. Shop at the ReStore and you can help build homes AND communities!
