Habitat ReStore-great bargains support a great cause!

I took time starting this summer and began to volunteer some of my time. In the past I had no time, so donated money. Times have changed, and since now I have some time and have no spare money, this works out great!

The Habitat ReStore was suggested to me by the Habitat Northeastern CT's secretary and a fellow realtor, Pegi. It is in Putnam and only a mile from my home, located at 171 Providence Street. Right across from Turtles Taco Shop. Convenient! Ideal! Most Sundays you will find me there with my new pal and fellow volunteer, Tony.

Little did I know the pleasant surprise that awaited me. I hope more and more people learn of this special place as time goes on. It is  OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I used to think it was for builders or contractors only. Not so! Everyone is welcomed to shop (and donate). You will find doors, windows, appliances (there is a 3 year old pristine stainless refrigerator in there now for $300), furniture (today a wicker set-couch & love seat sold for $100), tools, cabinets, sinks, lights galore! It is a great place to wander through and discover a treasure for yourself. Today I bought 2 tables (which will be perfect to put some of my house plants) for just $15. They just need a little TLC and paint!

Proceeds from sales assist in a future build and getting someone into a home of their own.


Please come and visit (and tell all your friends) the Putnam Habitat ReStore, or one near you!

I am a Putnamaniac thanks to the Habitat ReStore in town! I love volunteering there!
