- Will you commit to adding 1 positive item to the Network each month? (it can be a Question, an Answer, an INVITE or really anything positive)
- Yes
- About my Business:
- Granville County Habitat for Humanity is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.
Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.
- About Me:
- Christian Husband/Father of two children, I believe that everyone should help their community, no matter how small it may seem.
- My Ideal Customer is:
- Someone who wants to save lots of money on brand new building products as well as gently used furniture and appliances. Our Re-Store, which sells the above-mentioned items is located at 604 West Industry Drive (also known as the Oxford Loop) in the south part of Oxford, NC, off of Highway 15 in the warehouse district. We are right at the railroad tracks across the street from Ideal Fastener. We share our building with Carpenter Pallet.
- My Ideal Referral Partner is:
- Someone that believes that decent and affordable housing should be for everyone.

I'm taking the Explorer in for an oil change (and hopefully that's it). At this point, I don't know if I'm going to Oxford Friday or not. It depends if our IT volunteer can get in on Thursday or not to finish the set up of the computers.
ReStore is open from 10-6. Sorry I can't make it.
