 HABITAT
BENEFITS FROM LOCAL RESTAURANT REMODEL
Our
Wabash Valley Habitat ReStore was the beneficiary of the generosity of our
local Red Lobster when they remodeled their facility. Excess
equipment, furniture, and artwork were removed with care and donated to us
during a recent remodel project undertaken by the restaurant. Red
Lobster management instructed the remodel workers to remove the old
furnishings and equipment carefully so that it could be loaded onto
Habitat's donation pickup truck each week.
Many
of the items were bought almost before we could move them from our truck to
the ReStore building. The large artwork which we placed outside our
building on 19th and Wabash attracted a great deal of attention and sold
that first day. Another buyer who noticed the chairs come of the truck
bought all 90 of them on the spot. We're hoping the
lobster tank will attract someone with large fish or reptile who needs a
very spacious home. You just never know what you're going to find at
the Habitat ReStore ! We also still have for sale several booths,
tables, small artwork, and other furnishings from this generous donar.
This is
a good opportunity to remind local businesses as well as residents to
remember Wabash Valley Habitat's ReStore when you update your furniture,
cabinets, and appliances. Everyone wins when you donate your gently
used furniture and still-working appliances. We offer free pickup
services for those items we can use or you are welcome to drop items off
during our normal business hours. We discourage drop-offs when we are
not open to protect your donations from the weather and from vandals and
theft.

Footnote on donations:
While we totally agree that "one man's trash is another
man's treasure", we sometimes don't have the space to hold onto that
treasure until the right treasure hunter comes along. New building
materials, good reclaimed building materials, appliances in good working
order, cabinets in good condition, and furniture in good condition are in
high demand and sell quickly. Therefore, we try very hard to find room for
them. However, old windows and doors, old toilets, bathtubs, and
showers take up a lot of space. We may have to turn such donations
down on occasion.
