ReStore Recap: Fun DIY Craft Ideas, A Shopping Guide, Business Donations

As many of you know, we launched a new blog featuring our ReStore stories, projects, staff, volunteers, and events. To ensure you still receive the highlights of what's happening at our ReStores, we publish a "ReStore Recap", to give you an overview of all the great posts being published over at The ReStoration Corner.

This week's recap includes fun DIY craft ideas, a guide to shopping for a used refrigerator, and some insights on the benefits of small business donations. One of our volunteers, Hope, was also featured in a recent post!
