KENNEBUNK — Habitat for Humanity York County has received a grant from the Walmart Foundation.
“Habitat for Humanity of York County is grateful for the show of support from the Walmart Foundation and Biddeford Walmart Store,” said Amy Nucci, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of York County. “We would like to thank the Walmart Foundation for their assistance in helping purchase a laptop for Habitat presentations and the ReStore.”
The Habitat ReStore, located in Kennebunk, sells donated reusable building materials, plumbing and electrical supplies, appliances, hardware, and wooden furniture. ReStore revenues support Habitat’s affordable housing mission.
The dedication of Habitat’s 27th residence on Cole Road in West Kennebunk is scheduled for June 22 at 3 p.m. The 28th home building project is scheduled to begin in September in Wells.
Habitat’s weatherization program, Keep York County Warm!, community volunteers have completed 32 home weatherization projects in York County and built over 160 storm window inserts.
Habitat has many opportunities to volunteer on a building project, at the ReStore, assisting with weatherizations, in the office or serving on a committee.
Anyone interested in participating or donating to Habitat is encouraged to call the Habitat for Humanity York County office at 985-4850 or visit the website at www.habitatyorkcounty.org.
