SALISBURY, MD – On July 11, Habitat for Humanity of Wicomico County held a grand opening event for its second ReStore in Fruitland, MD.
During the day-long event, several hundred customers flooded the ReStore, taking advantage of sales, giveaways, and free food and drink.
Wicomico Habitat ReStore Director, Lee Wise, says the event was a huge success, noting over 500 items were purchased in one day. Wise added that the ReStore funds Habitat for Humanity of Wicomico County’s mission, helping the organization to achieve its goals to ensure everyone has a safe, decent, affordable place to call home.
Wicomico Habitat will begin building two homes simultaneously on Grace Street in Salisbury this summer. The foundations of those homes are set to be poured late summer 2024, with construction following. Volunteer build day opportunities will be available.
Continued community support of the Salisbury and Fruitland ReStores will help Habitat assist more low-income families with affordable homeownership and critical home repairs. Donations of gently used furniture, houseware, appliances, and small items are accepted in both ReStores either during store business hours (located on website), or through a scheduled pickup. Donors, as well as volunteers wishing to help in construction or either ReStore location, are encouraged to contact Habitat at wicomicohabitat.org.
