Declutter your garage and home in celebration of Earth Day!

Ogden, UT (March 21, 2018) — In celebration of Earth Day, the Habitat Ogden ReStore is kicking off their Declutter Drive all month long in April. Spring is coming, which also means that Spring cleaning is essential in most homes. The Declutter Drive is to challenge residents to donate items to the ReStore rather than throwing them into the dump.

In celebration of Earth Day (April 22nd), the Declutter Drive will hopefully bring awareness to residents in Weber and Davis Counties about the nonprofit ReStore. Home improvement Items can be donated to a nonprofit thrift store rather than putting them in the landfill. The Habitat Ogden ReStore offers a free pick-up service for residents in Weber and Davis Counties. This can be helpful for those who have large items, including furniture, appliances, lumber, and so much more. A donation receipt will be given for IRS tax-deductible purposes. Drop-off donations are acceptable from Tuesday thru Saturdays from 10 AM to 5:30 PM.

Ogden ReStore Declutter DriveThe Habitat ReStore is a nonprofit home improvement thrift store and donation center. It is operated and affiliated with the local Habitat for Humanity of Weber and Davis Counties (HabitatWD). The goal is to keep good and working home improvement items out of the landfill. The donated items are sold at a fraction of the cost to the general public. Proceeds from sales go back towards HabitatWD. The funds are used for building and repairing homes for local low-income families in need. The Ogden ReStore is located at 3111 Wall Avenue Ogden UT 84401. Operating hours are Tuesday thru Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM.

For the year 2017, it was calculated that the local Habitat Ogden ReStore diverted over 303 tons of items from the landfill. This is the equivalent to the weight of 30 box trucks.

Items that can be donated include appliances, artwork, building materials and lumber, cabinets, 2013 or newer dishwashers, doors, electrical items, new flooring, furniture, hardware, LED TVs, lighting, new paint, plumbing, tools, and windows. For more information, please visit the site.

Anyone can shop. Anyone can donate. And anyone can volunteer at the local Ogden ReStore. The Declutter Drive will begin April 1st and end on April 30th. You can schedule your free pick-up now or drop-off your unwanted home improvement items today.

Ground Breaking Ceremony

Habitat for Humanity Announces Ground Breaking Ceremony

Nonprofit kicks off their Ground Breaking Ceremony for their 13th Habitat partner family.

 

Ogden, UT (March 9, 2018) — Join nonprofit Habitat for Humanity of Weber and Davis Counties for their Ground Breaking Ceremony at 10 AM on April 14th. The next Habitat partner family will be breaking ground with Habitat shovels for their new Habitat home. The home lot is located at 450 15th Street, Ogden, UT 84404.

Habitat for Humanity of Weber and Davis Counties selected the Guzman family after visiting their trailer home between late 2016 to early 2017. Due to the trailer home falling apart, the six children were separated from each other, living at their neighbor’s, friend’s, and other family member’s homes. It hasn’t been until the last couple of months that they have been able to live under the same roof. However, the trailer home is still incredibly small and in poor condition. They are in need of a safe and secure place to call home.

I was super happy when I was picked (as the next Habitat family)…I had butterflies in my stomach,” said Aurora Guzman, the mother of the family. “I’m finally going to have my house big so that all my kids will be under one roof.”

This brand new home is planned to have a basement so that the family can have room and space. The Habitat home will be designed and built according to Habitat International guidelines. The construction for the home will start and be determined by the Construction Managers and Executive Director, and will be based upon the funding for the home. The nonprofit is grateful for any funds and donations that come in, since the proceeds go towards the new Habitat house.

Groundbreaking Ceremony

Habitat for Humanity of Weber and Davis Counties believes in a “hand up” not a “hand out”. The Guzman family will be working alongside the nonprofit, putting in 500 sweat equity hours. As part of getting the home, the family will contribute hours to their home build, the Habitat Ogden ReStore, and other activities. In addition, the Guzman family will go to required classes for budgeting and other classes for homeownership. Since Habitat homes are built alongside volunteers and donors, the house will be affordable for the family to live in.

If you would like to donate funds and/or materials towards the Guzman family and their Habitat home, please visit our website at www.habitatwd.org/donate/. If you would like to volunteer for the Habitat home build please email vol@habitatwd.org to contact our Americorps Volunteer Coordinator, Neyla Hadfield.
