Habitat ReStore receives donation - Sun Sentinel
Mill Creek Residential, a national apartment community operator, recently donated more than 200 household items to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
The company donated furniture, cabinets, countertops and appliances; including refrigerators, stoves, microwaves and dishwashers from 40 apartments at an upscale property.
"It takes donations from our community to make the Habitat Restore successful," said Nancy Daly, ReStore co-chairwoman. Daly estimates $12,000 in projected sales from the donation will be put toward building a new home.
Through Habitat for Humanity, hardworking families can apply to obtain affordable housing. They are required to contribute a combination of sweat equity, homeownership coursework and a zero-interest mortgage.
"Habitat for Humanity of Broward is truly empowering families to improve their lives, while strengthening many of the neighborhoods we serve," said Jeff Meran, Mill Creek's senior managing director for the South Florida region.
This is the second major gift of household items to the Broward location by Mill Creek. In 2014, it gave the nonprofit store its biggest product donation at the time.
"We are proud to play an important role in helping Habitat for Humanity provide safe, adequate and affordable housing to low-income families," Meran said.
Habitat Broward ReStore is located at 505 W. Broward Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. To donate contact Elke Delacruz at 954-763-7771.
