Going Above and Beyond

Committed ReStore Volunteers help fund 10 Atlanta Habitat homes

Daily ReStore operations are possible thanks in part to dedicated volunteers who give hours of their time every week. In 2017, ReStore volunteers contributed to our record-breaking year of generating enough revenue to sponsor 10 new Atlanta Habitat house-builds!

We celebrated this success at our annual Volunteer Appreciation event on February 1 with dozens of hardworking volunteers who helped to make it all happen.

Part of our success hinges on the dedication of ReStore volunteers; therefore, the Hinge Awards were presented to those who went above and beyond and gave over 200 hours of their time in 2017. A big thank you and congratulations goes to Jennifer Cooper, Mike Krauter and Jamie Willis.

ReStore volunteers who gave over 100 hours of their time in 2017 helped open the door to homeownership for many families. A big thank you and congratulations goes to the following Door Knob Award recipients: Andy Fentem, Bob Fredrick, Chris Linder, Fran Marshall, Caroline O’Grady, Peter Schneider, Pat Soloman and Edith Waller.
