Introducing the Affiliate Distribution Center (ADC)!
One year ago, the board and staff ventured forward to solve a huge problem facing habitat affiliates, huge donations from corporate donors.
The problem that all affiliates with ReStores share is lack of storage space to handle these massive donations, therefore most offerings go unaccepted. That is until now! The ADC now occupies a 15,000 sq’ warehouse in West Bend WI where we can accept these donations. But more importantly we collect and then redistribute these goods to partnering ReStores.
We operate the ministry not to generate funds but simply cover the cost of rent, utilities, and other miscellaneous expense. Any proceeds by will go directly to the Habitat for Humanity of Wisconsin whose mission is to help Wisconsin affiliates better do Lord’s work through habitat.
What we, your local affiliate get out of this is access to better quality and new donation from throughout the state. Companies like Kohler, Rust-o-leum, Broan, Milwaukee Tool, Home Depot, Uline, Walmart to mention a few are regular donors to the ADC.
The most important part of the ADC is that we can better serve our neighbor in need as all profits from ReStore support the life and ministry of Habitat for Humanity and on top of that Habitat keeps tons of waste out of local landfills by providing this distribution center.
To date the ADC has distributed 40 loads equaling $200,000 of saleable material throughout the state. That is enough to completely build one 1,200 sq’, 3-bedroom home for a deserving family in need.
If you are intrigued by this ministry and wish to put your faith into action, please contact Russ Wanta at ed@hfhwashco.org. Additionally, your financial support is also greatly appreciated will benefit all Habitat affiliates in the state of Wisconsin.
