Shared Purpose

Habitat for Humanity Restore

These ladies spent time on Saturday, May 18th in the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Durham on a Saturday morning preparing light fixtures to be sold in support of Habitat’s mission to create funding for building homes. There was an entire pallet of light fixtures that were opened box by box and prepared for the sales floor. There was dusting and proper placement of the items so that customers could come in and get a great deal all while supporting Habitat for Humanity!
