The 6,400-square foot Habitat ReStore — wi adequate customer parking and easy access for receiving and loading merchandise — has been open Thursday, Friday and Saturday since mid-September at 267 East 1400 South, Suite 105 in St. George, but the official open house today will celebrate the culmination of more than two years of planning with a free hot dogs, sodas, product and coupon giveaways “and, lots and lots of bargains,’ said Launa Butler, Habitat for Humanity’s executive director. “The inventory at a ReStore is always changing, so if you don't find what you are looking for this week, come back next week!” Dave Huber, president of Habitat for Humanity International's local affiliate housed in the Tonaquint Business Park, noted, “ReStores are retail outlets where quality used and surplus building materials, tools, garden supplies and appliances are sold at a fraction of regular retail prices. Proceeds from dozens of ReStores nationwide..fund the construction of Habitat houses in numerous communities throughout the United States and Canada’ “Our goals are two-fold? said ReStore manager Russell Hansen of Bloomington. “First, we want to offer deep discounts on quality used and surplus merchandise to those in the community who are looking for a really good deal in these difficult economic times. Second and most important, we are raising funds to build more simple, decent and affordable houses in Washington County for those qualifying, low-income families who are deserving but might not ever be able to afford their own home without the kind of help Habitat offers’ A ReStore in this area can also help the environment by channeling good, usable materials into use by homeowners. In the beginning, Hansen notes, the ReStore will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. with plans to extend the MEMORY serve everything you have is worth it’ Tom said. “You'll pay $500 for a family portrait, $2,000 for wedding pictures.

Several homeowners whose homes were washed away by the Santa Clara River lost everything. So, too, have victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Ike. “We're protecting the future by preserving the past, Alan said. “What about taking Memory Doc with you when you leave the house or having it in your car in case of a break-in? You just never know when youre going to be asked to evacuate. You never know when you'll come home to nothing. We think it’s a nice niche” The cost of the service, Tom said, is $500. It typically takes a couple of days to photograph all of a family’s possessions and days and hours as demand increases. Hansen will also work to develop a corps of volunteers willing to.cashier, stock shelves, price merchandise and pick up donations in 4-hour shifts each week. “Habitat: is all about ‘family’? said Hansen. “So we hope to develop a ‘family’ of volunteers who believe in Habitat’s mission and goals and are willing to give their time and talent to the ReStore project?
