Come to the Forest Grove ReStore, pick up blue bags at the cashier stand, fill them with your empty uncrushed cans, take them to a BottleDrop site in Oregon & the money gets sent automatically to West Tuality Habitat for Humanity! A simple way to support access to homeownership! #HabitatForHumanity

Sometimes, we're able to help a homeowner with multiple projects, like in Cornelius, Oregon, where we were able to replace an elderly woman's accessibility ramp outside & fix a leaking roof, & mobilize #volunteers to paint her house. Our critical home repair program helps homeowners to be able to stay in their homes and age in place, & helps their home become safer. Financial donations help us to be able to help even more. We make giving easy online.

So now they’re going after #HabitatForHumanity? I mean, not only investigating but, immediately shutting down their finances?

"The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like #HabitatForHumanity for receiving grants from the #EPA under the Biden administration.

Citibank was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” "

#DonaldTrump wants to criminally charge organizations who received government funds to combat #ClimateChange!

This apparently includes #HabitatForHumanity (this is insane!!!).

This is completely beyond the pale:

'The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration."

“This is not fraud. This is targeted harassment,”

>>The FBI has requested that Citibank place 30-day administrative freezes on accounts held by nonprofits that were recipients of the green bank funding. It also asked the bank to freeze other nonprofit and state government agency accounts, including Habitat for Humanity, United Way, the Colorado Clean Energy Fund, and New York State’s Department of Taxation and Finance.<<

Another cool piece of retro tech from my local Habitat for Humanity store, a Revere 16mm sound film projector. Love All the metal with baked paint and the lovely case with a speaker behind the fancy grill and a hidden compartment for wires and accessories. Very nice for the time. Love it, but no place for it. Would be great in somebody's theater room or indie theater lobby.

Today I decluttered four large outdoor rockers and their two small matching tables, two outdoor pub chairs, an American flag left here by the previous owners, pool noodles, and the ceiling fan that used to live in the kitchen. Thank god for the #habitatforhumanity #restore. They're a little Jesus-y for me, but I appreciate their mission.

Sad to see this. The St Henri Habitat for Humanity store on Notre Dame west has closed as of Feb 21.

It had a massive flood in its basement in 2016 apparently due to city sewer construction that damaged a lot of its donations but recovered.

No explanation on the main website. #montreal #sthenri #habitatforhumanity

Feeling really good about my mess of a workshop for a while. I picked up a very useful rolling cart/shelf at the Habitat for Humanity store for an amazing $5, that turned out not only to solve the problem I wanted it to (making my bench power tools more accessible and useful), but to provide a ton of useful storage and break a clutter logjam that's been snarling a corner of my shop for months.

#KamalaHarris eulogy for #JimmyCarter

Fmr President Carter was a president "ahead of his time," said VP Harris.

"Jimmy Carter was that all-too-rare example of a gifted man who also walks with humility, modesty & grace."

Harris shared a story of how Carter & his beloved late wife, Rosalynn, opted to sleep on the floor of a church while on their first trip for #HabitatForHumanity to give their room to a young couple who put off their honeymoon to join the trip.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at 100. Carter served one term, from 1976-1980. After the White House, Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, spent decades working alongside Habitat for Humanity volunteers, repairing and building affordable homes across the globe. @abc takes a look at the enduring legacy Carter leaves behind in a cause he cherished greatly:
