Sussex Habitat to open Lewes ReStore

Sussex County Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Kevin Gilmore has announced a second ReStore location will open in Lewes in January 2017. The ReStore will occupy the 10,000-square-foot building formerly known as Practically Yours Antiques on Route 9, three miles west of Route 1 near Lewes.

The Habitat ReStore sells donated, reusable, lower-cost building materials and household goods. “Our donors have the greatest impact on sales and profits,” said Gilmore. “Currently, most of our donations come from Lewes, Rehoboth and other beach communities. Finding a location closer to these communities made sense.”

The Georgetown ReStore, located on Depot Street, will continue to serve donors and customers from throughout Sussex County. ReStore Manager Mark Quigley added, “Together, the Lewes and Georgetown ReStore sites will be more convenient and accessible for all of our donors, shoppers, and volunteers.”

Sales proceeds support Habitat’s mission to eliminate substandard housing by building, rehabilitating and repairing homes for families in need. Now celebrating its 25th year, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity helps families build strengths, stability, and self-reliance by selling affordable homes with a not-for-profit 30-year mortgage.
