Remodeling, cleaning, downsizing, or just getting organized? Whatever your project, don’t let the items you no longer need end up in your local landfill or over-take your garage. Habitat for Humanity “ReStores” are home improvement stores and donation centers that accept appliances and surplus building materials. In many cases, pickup service is an option. Contact ReStore at 623-.551.6000 to see if Habitat can use your surplus. The nearest Restore is at 3210 S. McClintock Rd, Tempe, AZ. Open Mon-Friday 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Verdes Habitat for Humanity volunteer worker list is 80-plus strong and extremely productive. The building crew carpools to the site most Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the volunteer foreman, Pete Sturman, says, “We’ve made great progress in just five days of work. House #29 is ready for the trades to do their work, with HVAC getting installed next.” Funding is progressing well, with donations climbing toward 75% of the needed funds. Donations made before April 15, 2025, are eligible for tax credits in 2024. Postcard-size donor information cards at the front desk at Tonto Verde and on posters at the Rio Verde Community Center and Rio post office. Thanks to all our volunteer workers and generous donors. To be part of the Verdes success story, contact: Pete Sturman to help build. sturmanpr@gmail.com. Christie Gorsline for donation queries. christiewrite@yahoo.com
