The Asheville Chamber are pleased to recognized Asheville Habitat for Humanity ReStore as Small Business of the Month. The Asheville Habitat for Humanity ReStore provides a sustainable source of income for Habitat's building program. The ReStore encourages recycling, diverts 1400 tons of material from landfills and helps make home improvements affordable. Volunteers play a vital role in everyday operations, with more than 12,250 hours of service provided by volunteers in FY2012. Sales in FY2012 (ended June 30, 2012) were up 24% over FY2011.
Tell us a little of the store's history: when did it open? How many employees do you have? etc.

What's next on the horizon? The Asheville Chamber's tagline is "Connect. Enage. Impact. Thrive." Pick one of these words {or all of them if you are feeling verbose : ) } and tell us what it means to you as a small business in Asheville. Impact: (Financial) The ReStore provides Asheville Area Habitat with sustaining income to build new houses and repair existing homes in the community. We also employ local people and use many local vendors, which supports the local economy. (Environmental) The ReStore diverts 1,400 tons of material from the landfill each year. (Community) The ReStore provides the community with a resource for affordable building materials, appliances, furniture, housewares and more. And, we utilize hundreds of community volunteers -- engaging folks who want to participate with Habitat, but don't necessarily want to swing a hammer on a construction site. ReStore volunteers help us build and repair homes too! (Image provided by Asheville Chamber.)
