ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity ReStore is celebrating 10-years and gearing up for a big move.
The non-profit announced Thursday that their “Framing For Our Future” campaign is intended to help raise money for its Restore move from Ashwaubenon to Allouez.
The move to 1967 Allouez Ave., across from Target, will provide more space for the ReStore as well as Habitat for Humanity offices.
At this time, $2.1 million of the $3.5 million overall project has already been secured.
The campaign is looking to secure the remaining funds, starting with a $500,000 matching challenge from longtime Habitat supporters, Jack and Egrid “Inky” Meng.
“Thanks to the compassion and generosity of the Mengs and so many more, we look forward to moving into our new all-inclusive Habitat Campus, which will allow us work more efficiently as a unit, streamline efficiencies and live our mission daily,” says Cora Haltaufderheid, executive director of the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.

In early fall, Habitat officials hope to reopen the ReStore at its new location.
The ReStore takes in donated building materials, furniture, and appliances to resell.
They also fund various community housing projects.
