Just about everyone knows what Habitat for Humanity is, but in case you don't it's an organization that relies on volunteers to build houses for low-income families around the world. However most of you probably don't know about their ReStore project.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore takes "gently-used building materials and household goods." (http://www.habitat.org/restores/default.aspx) and sells them back to the public at fractions of the original cost! Now please do not make assumptions that I'm posting this because I support a certain religious group, my religion and/or lack there of has nothing to do with why I like this organization. I am posting about the ReStore project because I think its not only economical for low income families who struggle to buy furniture and other things, but because this is also environmentally friendly! This allows people to find good quality house items, pre-used, at extreamly low prices AND helps us to avoid buying new furniture that takes up resources to build, which we don't have.
My mom just recently bought a new house and we live on a very limited budget, but the house just doesn't have enough storage, or any for that matter. We needed a big cabinet that we could use in or kitchen for dishes, glasses, pots, pans, ect. And found this:
It only cost my mom $50!!!!!!!!!! Thats an amazing deal!
