Meet Dexter Perez, one of our most recent homeowners to move into their new family home. The story is inspirational, and is an excellent demonstration of the mutual partnership between the homebuyer and the organization. Listen in as Dexter expresses his gratitude and call to action for other to follow suit. 

Our Habitat Homeowners go through a comprehensive application process, fulfill sweat equity hours, and complete homeowner courses. The hard work that Habitat Homebuyers put into building their home, and helping others build their home is a very humbling experience that leaves many craving more opportunities to continue with that experience.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Some people are using their "stay at home" time to do some spring cleaning. The Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity Restore is asking people to not throw away old appliances, tools or unused materials.
The Restore is closed right now, but they will happily take those items from you when they reopen.
Habitat's Restore takes everything from paint to home decor to cabinets. A donation keeps those items out of landfills.

Greater Green Bay Habitat For Humanity ReStore still wants your donated items, too -- just not right now. As you do your spring cleaning, remember to set aside items like gently-used tools or materials to donate, once they return to normal business operations.

BELLEVUE (NBC 26) -- The Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity Restore has prevented more than eight million pounds of materials from ending up in landfills since opening.
​
That's a huge impact that would not be possible without the help from our community. Unfortunately with coronavirus has forced the Restore to close for shopping and donation drop off and pickup, but they still need your support.
