There is a lot of quality items for sale at very
 inexpensive prices at the ReStore.

With only a few shopping days left until Christmas, those who wait for the last minute, or who have limited money, might want to check out Patuxent Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in Lexington Park.

The thrift store is bursting at the seams with quality furniture, lighting, appliances and more very inexpensive goods.

ReStore only has a few shopping days left before the holidays but there is definitely something there for every taste. They are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Thursday and Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Next week, the unique thrift will open on Christmas Eve. During the special sale, they are seeking 10 percent donation on top of the fantastic price of their goods.

“We aren’t forcing people to donate,” said a smiling John Girolamo, Director of ReStore Operations. “We are always looking for ways to help fund what we do.”

Habitat president, Gary Williams, added that they do two houses per year and they already have two families selected for the next houses to go. “The hold up has been in the road construction leading to the neighborhood,” said Williams. He indicated that now Bubby Knott of Great Mills Trading Post has donated the entire road construction part of the project. “That is 1,000 tons of material at $70 per ton,” added Williams.

Patuxent Habitat for Humanity is one of the first to offer complete ‘green’ building methods for their Habitat homes. Williams acknowledged that the cost of green building is from 2 to 10 pecent higher, but that the savings to the families that purchase the house will more than compensate the initial cost.
