The Chamber recently participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony with member Habitat for Humanity in celebration of the Habitat ReStore.Customers of the ReStore can now feel doubly good about their purchases since they are funding a home for the Win family. Rosey Win is a single mother with three children who came to Fort Wayne as a refugee from Burma. She is employed full-time at Vera Bradley, Inc. as a team leader.
Habitat for Humanity ReStores are retail outlets where quality, used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from sales help Habitat for Humanity fund the construction of simple, affordable homes within Allen County. Fort Wayne Habitat has constructed 127 homes in Allen County and an additional 78 homes internationally, and plans to build an additional 10 homes this year.
For more information on the new home, the ReStore or Habitat, please call HABITAT (422-4828) or visit www.fortwaynehabitat.org.
