Winning tip:
Habitat for Humanity home improvement
bargains "If you are in need of building supplies and
would like to help a charity in the process, check and see if your
city or town has a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. This is a place
where contractors, home improvement stores and homeowners donate
new or gently used items for sale to the public. All proceeds minus
minimal expenses go toward building homes for those in need. It
is a great way to get a deal while helping the environment by recycling
gently used items. Most importantly it helps to provide affordable
housing to those who need it."
