ODESSA, TEXAS - Midland Habitat for Humanity helps build homes for less fortunate families. While their construction is thriving, their retail store that supports them is taking a hit. Simply put, they don't have enough volunteers. This could ultimately affect the number of homes they can build.
"ReStore volunteers have always been hard to attract because the visual of a construction site is so alluring. But the need here remains and we just need a lot of help here," Alynda Best, Executive Director of Midland Habitat for Humanity, said.
It's where furniture and building supplies are donated, ready to re-shelf and re-sell. Midland Habitat for Humanity's ReStore actually helps pay for their housing ministry.
"Our store not only helps Habitat. It's also a huge recycling center so it helps the entire community," Best said.
While the crowds come in to bag these hot deals, their amount of volunteers is struggling to pick up.
