New Members
On Tuesday, April 12 at 11am, the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce, Wachusett Chamber and North Central Mass Chambers of Commerce will co-host a joint Ribbon Cutting to celebrate the grand opening of Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts new ReStore.
The new ReStore is located at 637 Lancaster Street (Route 117 – 1 mile from Lowe’s and Wal-Mart). Officials from Amica Insurance along with other major donors, local mayors, council members, our board of directors, other VIPs and volunteers will be at this grand event. Refreshments to follow.
Over that last ten years, ReStores have cropped up across the country as a successful way for local Habitat for Humanity affiliates to raise earned income. It is important in the non-profit world to have a broad base for funding including individuals, businesses, corporations, government and, when possible, earned income. A ReStore is a perfect fit as we sell all things related to construction as well as household items like appliances and furniture.
The ReStores also have two other important roles in the community. They serve as an outlet for discounted materials, making it possible for people of all income levels to take advantage of the donated products. ReStores also serve an environmental purpose, keeping tons of material that might be discarded out of our landfills annually while putting them to good use as a recycled product.
Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts is a member of the Nashoba Valley Chamber of Commerce (NVCoC). NVCoC is committed to the development of a strong, healthy economy in the communities where we live and do business. www.nvcoc.com
