Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County’s Post

Not sure how to celebrate Earth Day? Each time that you donate to the L-C Valley Habitat ReStore, you allow those items to have a second life and keep them out of the landfills. Your donation then helps support hard-working families in our community through Habitat for Humanity. Here are some other simple ways to start saving the earth today. How many simple, green acts can you complete before the end of the day? #Reduce #Reuse #Recycle #Repurpose #EarthDay #LCVHFH

In a special edition of this week's newsletter, LBC wants to shoutout new and unique stories from our material donors! Every year hundreds of organizations, individuals, partners and collaborators donate reusable items that LBC can then give back to our West End community - and this week is no different! We would like to send a shoutout to Atlanta Housing for donating a variety of antique cabinet sets that have been put to amazing use in our community. Through LBC's partnership in deconstructing facilities in East Lake Highrise, a senior living residence, we were able to salvage these materials which otherwise would have gone to landfills. For instance, two five-piece sets are in the process of being utilized by a client - who is a residential contractor in Atlanta's West End (30310) - to provide sustainable upgrades to affordable housing initiatives in West End neighborhoods. Without Atlanta Housing Authority's generosity and assistance, this would not have been possible. Together as a community we can make a difference and work in tandem for a common cause. #togetherwecan #sustainablereuse #reuse #workforgood #nonprofitwork #nonprofit

Solving the #housingcrisis is more than building new #affordablehousing. It also means supporting those who don’t have a home and those who are at risk of losing theirs. It means resources like landlord liaison programs, system navigation and encampment outreach services like those we provide through our Downtown Outreach Housing Resource Services office. Navigating the housing crisis takes all of us. Donate today. https://bit.ly/4ddH3n6 #NationalNonprofitDay

✨ WE NEED YOUR HELP! ✨ . Did you know that the EPA estimates that over 600 million tons of construction/demolition debris is thrown into landfills each year - that’s hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of furniture, cabinets, doors, windows, slabs of stone, and more, that could have easily been diverted and reused. . At Stardust, it is our mission to provide affordable reclaimed, salvaged, or other gently used supplies for homes, businesses, and nonprofits around us. We are passionate about reuse and are proud to support our community. But we can’t do it without YOU! 💖🏠 . As a nonprofit, most of our inventory comes from material donations from homeowners like you. While these items no longer have a place in your homes, by donating them, you are helping to provide one-of-a-kind, reclaimed treasures for someone else who needs them. Your materials donations can (literally) help build our community and invest in making it stronger. . We believe that we can #StarveTheLandfill ♻️ but we need YOUR HELP. . YOU WILL make a difference in our community when you donate to Stardust. .
