Everyone
deserves decent shelter. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit,
ecumenical Christian Housing ministry. Our mission is to provide
safe, decent, affordable housing to families in need in Mitchell and
Yancey counties. Funds for this purpose are raised through the sale
of new or gently used building materials and household goods by
Habitats ReStore located on upper street in Spruce Pine. We offer a
service that helps reduce materials reaching the landfills and
provide a conduit for getting reusable items back into the community
at greatly discounted prices. All monies from every purchase will go
to Mitchell-Yancey Habitat for Humanity for the purpose of building
homes for needy families. Although
we are an affiliate of Habitat
for Humanity
International we do not receive funding from Habitat international,
Federal, or State Funding so local support is very important for our
mission of
ending substandard housing in Mitchell and Yancey Counties. The
Habitat ReStore is open to the public.
- At
the heart of our effort are the volunteers. It takes a highly dedicated
group of people to keep the operation functioning smoothly and serving
our community. The ReStore Volunteers perform necessary functions like:
-
| Customer Service |
Unloading and
moving merchandise |
| Organizing departments |
Pick-ups and deliveries |
| Cleaning and
pricing merchandise |
Helping to build houses |
| Building shelving |
|
- M-Y HFH
is looking for volunteers for on site building
projects on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
We are also
looking for dedicated people from all walks of life to join our Board
of Directors.
If you
would be interested in joining our fine group of volunteers please
contact Lynn Shepherd at 766-9000 ext.2#
