Locals looking into doing renovations have another option for supplies, one which also gives back to the community. The Woodstock Habitat for Humanity ReStore held their grand opening yesterday with the profits from the store going into running the organization so all of the monetary donations can go into their Habitat for Humanity builds. CEO for Habitat for Humanity Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin, Jeff Duncan says lots of great things are happening for the organization locally. "We introduced our next family so we're going to be building this year with the support of Toyota Motor Manufacturing. They have come forward as a house sponsor so we're going to build a second house here in Woodstock. We're hoping to do a third, if we can find a family before the end of the year we'll actually build a third home before the end of the year." "We want to be building and have a ReStore in Tillsonburg as well. We have already started discussion with council there and we've met the chamber and some business people and some other community groups, faith groups there and there's a lot of energy and vibe there that they want to get going there and our strategic plan shows a ReStore there as well for 2014." Duncan says ReStores are important because they become the hub of the organization and show that they're here to stay. "We've hired locally. We're walking the talk in my mind. We've said we want to build houses here and then we don't disappear. We're here you know employing people and putting them back into the community and it gives a sense of community for people that I think is important." ReStore is located at 1058 Parkinson Road in Woodstock.
