Welcome Home, New ReStore Truck!

10/24/2024

 
Picture
At Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity and the ReStore, we’re thrilled to welcome a brand new addition to our ReStore family – our new truck! This isn’t just any truck; it’s a testament to the power of community and generosity.

A New Resource, Full of Possibilities
The need for a new ReStore truck has been a long time coming. As ReStore donations have consistently grown, our beloved but aging truck worked tirelessly to bring them to our retail operation. But we knew that to continue fueling our mission efficiently, it was time to upgrade. The new truck is equipped with enhanced space, safety features, and loading capabilities, allowing us to go farther, work smarter, and all of the efforts are to serve more people and families in our community building affordable homes.

With this truck, we’ll be able to keep even more items out of landfills, give materials a second chance at life, and generate crucial revenue that directly supports our affordable homeownership program. As a result, it’s not only a vehicle; it’s a bridge to hope, offering resources that empower Habitat homebuyers to achieve stability and independence through decent, affordable homeownership.

Greater Green Bay Habitat ReStore’s New Partnership with ReSupply: Easier Donations for All

10/1/2024

 
At Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, we’re always looking for ways to make a positive impact in our community—this includes making the donation process as convenient as possible for you! To meet that goal, we’ve recently partnered with ReSupply, a veteran-owned logistics company, to provide an easy, fast, and flexible pickup option for donations. Here’s how it works and how you can donate, all from the comfort of your home.

Two Easy Options for Donating
​
We know life can be busy, so we now offer two ways to have your donations picked up:
Our Standard ReStore Pickup Service (Free)
If you’re planning ahead, our free ReStore pickup service is a great option. Scheduled 1-3 weeks in advance (based on location and availability), this service is perfect for items that meet our donation guidelines and are ready for pickup in a garage, covered parking, or outside.
​

Details of the Standard Service:
  • Free pickup service
  • Scheduled 1-3 weeks in advance
  • Ideal for items stored in easy-to-access areas
  • Requires that items meet donation guidelines (view full list on our website)
  • Cannot disassemble items or enter living space,  items must be available in the garage or outside for pickup
Expedited Pickup with ReSupply (Small Fee)
​
For those who need a faster or more flexible option, our partnership with ReSupply offers pickups in as little as two business days for a small service fee. ReSupply can collect items from any area of your home, including upstairs or downstairs, and can even disassemble items if needed.
​

Details of ReSupply Service:
  • Pickup available within two business days
  • Nominal fee for convenience (affordable compared to most movers or junk haulers)
  • Flexible item collection from anywhere in your home
  • Accepts items in any condition, whether meeting ReStore guidelines or not
  • Can disassemble items if necessary

Vern Peterson - President
Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity 
 
For Immediate Release                                                           August 10, 2021
 
Executive Director of Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity to Retire
 
GREEN BAY, WI – On behalf of the Board of Directors for Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity, we announce the retirement of our Executive Director, Cora Haltaufderheid, which will be effective December 2021.
Picture
Cora began her career at Habitat in 2014. The organization has continued to grow our mission to new heights with her business knowledge, personal drive, and talented staff on her team. Notable achievements in her seven years with Habitat include:
  • Leading a $3.5 million capital campaign, which resulted in the purchase and renovation of a 35,000 square foot Habitat campus
  • Construction of three twin home buildings (a first for our organization), providing safe, decent, affordable housing for six families
  • Legacy build in memory of a dedicated, long-term volunteer that involved the volunteer’s family in designing, funding, and building the home
  • The creation and evolution of our signature event, RePurpose for a Reason, has raised awareness of our mission, organization, and specifically our ReStore 
The impact of Cora’s involvement with our organization affects not only the 55 families that have new homes since she has been leading the organization, but also the generations of those families yet to come. Her efforts leave a lasting legacy for the organization’s staff, volunteers, board members, donors, and community partners of providing homes, communities, and hope in the Green Bay area.
 
While she will be missed, we wish only the best for her as she enters her well-deserved retirement.  The Board of Directors is forming a search committee for her replacement.
