Lexington Habitat for Humanity – Habitat has a few ways to support: Though the need for a stable, affordable place to live is clearer than ever, it just became much more difficult to achieve. Lexington Habitat has been preparing to build nine homes in partnership with low income families in 2020. Due to COVID-19, they have had to temporarily close their ReStore locations and suspend all volunteer activity and events. This loss of revenue is immediately impacting their ability to serve families. This is a critical moment for Lexington Habitat. Please consider making a gift at www.lexhabitat.org/ways-to-give to sustain their mission of building homes, communities and hope in Lexington.
Purchase A ReStore Gift Card – The two Lexington Habitat ReStore locations may be closed to the public, but you can still support your local ReStore by purchasing a gift card for use once they are open again! Cards can be purchased at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/resgifcar.
