The HFHFC ReStore’s 10th Anniversary!

Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County celebrated the ten-year anniversary of its ReStore, not with a ribbon cutting but with a board-cutting ceremony. “We don’t cut ribbons at Habitat, we cut boards,” said Mark Story, Habitat’s Director of Advancement. Justin Hoke, the original store manager, cut the board ten years ago when the ReStore first opened and was proud to cut another alongside Les Clugston, the current manager, at the celebration on January 23rd.

In recognition of ten years, Story gave a speech thanking the many people who have contributed to Habitat ReStore’s success, from past and present volunteers to community members to anyone who has made a purchase at the ReStore. Over the last ten years, sales from the ReStore have funded the equivalent construction of 20 homes for local families in Franklin County. The ReStore is an integral part of the Habitat for Humanity mission and is looking forward to a future where everyone has a decent place to live.
