Habitat for Humanity of Logan County starts Re-Sale Warehouse Reorganization
Offering special deals on select surplus items this week only

[January 22, 2018] 

LINCOLN

In 2002 Habitat for Humanity of Logan County opened a warehouse on Keokuk Street for a source of funds to help build houses in Logan County. The items sold at that time were basically home improvement items and pipes or fittings for such.

In 2005 a new warehouse was built at 915 Woodlawn Road right after HFHLC had obtained the old Regions Bank drive-thru branch at 909 Woodlawn. There more donated items were able to be added and produce from a Habitat garden was sold.

In 2015 an addition was added to accommodate donated appliances and furniture items where the recycling of electronics could be housed.

In an effort to make the ReSale of these generous donations buyer friendly, HFHLC, on Saturday, January 27, is hanging shelves, suspending lights from above, rearranging the entire building and discarding items that are not of ‘top quality’.

The public is invited to ‘check- out’ this transformation and take advantage of ‘red tag’ and ‘make an offer’ surplus items the week of January 22 thru 27.

As the purpose of this ReSale program has always been, the profits of all items from appliances, cabinets, doors, furniture, hardware, paint, shingles, siding, windows, and toilets to other items too numerous to mention go to the HFHLC building fund for future Habitat homes.

Also on hand this week will be the “buy-a-stud” inventory. Those who wish, may purchase a stud to be used in the next home build. Studs cost $5.00 and the buyer may sign the wood to commemorate their contribution as the next home is being built.

A Grand Opening, to be scheduled for early spring will also showcase several new features. HFHLC continues to accept ‘user friendly, good condition articles of furniture, appliances and home improvement items’. The HFHLC Warehouse/ReSale Building is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Questions can be answered by calling 217-732-6412.
