GLT Datebook: Habitat For Humanity ReStore Expands

Habitat for Humanity of McLean County.

Habitat for Humanity of McLean County ReStore is renovating its current space and has just implemented a project to expand the square footage.

  • Located at 1402 W. Washington in west Bloomington, the habitat ReStore has been stuffed to the gills with donated merchandise.  So now the time has come to expand and give their customers a better shopping experience while helping to give back to the community.
  • The space will include more parking spaces and a more streamlined donation drop-off area, making it easier for donors to bring in merchandise.
  • It's hoped that the ReStore will cover 100% of Habitat McLean County's administrative costs, which increases the number of homes that can be built annually.
  • The project is a big investment in the West Bloomington community -- a place that Habitat calls home, and wants to keep it that way, helping to renew the neighborhood.
