ReStore Update

We just celebrated the 4th anniversary of our Independence ReStore with a successful progressive sale. Looking forward, we hope to build on our success and make an even bigger impact on the families we serve through Habitat for Humanity. Our sales turn into charitable dollars that impact families right here in Eastern Jackson County by helping them achieve safe and affordable housing.

If you want to help, we are always in need of volunteers to work in the stores as well as donations of items we can sell in our stores such as building materials, lumber, fixtures and furniture, and appliances.

Call our ReStores today at 816-886-7374.
Faith Relations

As people of faith, we are called to respond to our neighbors' needs, acting as God's hands and feet in service to the world. When we come together to help people build better futures for themselves and their families, we actively participate in doing God's work in the world.

On September 11th, we held a free Concert for Hope to celebrate our faith in what we do. The concert featured local musicians Four By Grace (Adrain Lemen, Sammy McKain, Jamie McKain, Jimmy Dull) and a trio from First Baptist Blue Springs (Lee Sisney, Casey Sisney, & Jennifer Ward) and our fabulous homeowner Melinda Johnson. 
 
Special thanks also to Linda Lemen and Linda Edison from First Baptist Blue Springs.

Energy Grant

We were fortunate enough to receive a H.U.E.E. (Heartland Utilities for Energy Efficiency) energy grant from Missouri Gas Energy and Independence Power & Light to fund a new initiative where we will be helping families learn tips on how to save money on their energy bills. Each participant will also receive an energy kit filled with LED light bulbs, insulation goodies and more! If you are interested in learning more and receiving one of these kits, give us a call at 816-461-6551 ext. 222. 


Jeans for Insulation

The Blue Jeans Go GreenTM  program collects denim across the country and upcycles it into UltraTouchTM Denim Insulation, providing a portion to communities in need each year.

We are currently collecting used denim in both of our ReStore locations in Blue Springs and Independence. We will then return them to be recycled into insulation that we will later use in our Habitat homes. Drop yours off before and 10/25.
