Habitat Kent reopens South ReStore and resumes construction

June 8, 2020/in Habitat Kent News/by Maggie Edwards

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, June 8, 2020 — Habitat for Humanity of Kent County has reopened its South ReStore location at 5701 Division Ave S, Wyoming, MI 49548 and in the last couple weeks, home construction has resumed as well. The nonprofit is preparing to welcome volunteers back to construction sites later this summer.

The ReStore has been closed since mid-March amid the coronavirus pandemic and will open for business again on Monday, June 8, with several precautions in place.

“Every ReStore shopper helps Habitat Kent build homes, communities, and hope, and they are an important part of our mission,” said Executive Director, Bev Thiel. “We have taken our time with reopening to prepare enhanced health and safety measures that will help keep all ReStore visitors healthy and safe.”

The store is limiting the number of customers and implementing enhanced cleaning procedures, including routinely sanitizing high contact areas, providing hand sanitizer stations, placing social distancing markers, and requiring all inside the store wear masks.

Habitat Kent is also asking customers to wear a face mask inside the store, to not visit if they are sick, to maintain six feet of space between themselves and others, and to shop alone or in the smallest groups possible.

The store will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.

“We are not yet able to accept donated items or materials, so ReStore donors should watch for news about when donations will resume,” said ReStore General Manager, Scott Baldwin.

“While it’s not quite business as usual yet, we are excited to see ReStore shoppers again and to start building more for local families!”
