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.

Fundraiser 4 Soldiers Coming Home & Granville County Habitat 4 Humanity

"Hero's Welcome Home" is a project to raise money for soldiers coming home.

Why not give $1 or more to this project and help a soldier's dream come true? All year we all want to give back some how to the men and women that serve for our freedom, but sometimes- it just sweeps right by us. We see it, we read about it but not all the time do we know how to help. By helping one soldier, you are helping many, because the domino effect of kindness can go very far.

Please visit The Referralist Websit… Continue

That's the thought of a student who doesn't have a computer at home and, in turn, has to share time with other students that all head to a local library and sign up to get in line to use the computers for 30 minutes at a time. But a local en… Continue
