Donate to the HR Community Chest
The Home ReSource Community Chest was established at our 2011 benefit auction, with $7,000 donated that night. We invite you to help grow this fund, which will be used to further our reuse mission in the community by:
- Supporting donations of materials to non-profits and those in need
through the Materials Giving Program
- Making ReVAMP classes affordable for low- to moderate-income
students
- Helping us teach sustainable building practices through our work
programs and partner agencies
By giving to this fund, you are supporting dozens of other non-profits, families in need, reuse education, and of course, resource conservation within all of that. Thanks! It’s one gift that goes a long, long way!
As always, your gift is 100% tax deductible. We’ll send you a receipt along with our thanks promptly.
Why do we need your support?
As the national economy has taken a dive, Missoulians and Western Montanans have been re-using and recycling more than ever. Now is precisely the time when more of our community members need our services the most. And as the unsustainable global economy weakens, there is really no better time for us to come together and build up our local economy in a more sustainable way. We can make the most of our local resources, especially those in existing buildings. We can harvest timber in ways that restore local forests, rather than clear-cutting for a rapacious global market. We can help countless families (like Dave the Teacher’s – see below) make essential home improvements. Together we can build the kinds of homes and communities we want to live in!
If you are unable to give at this time, you could help us tremendously in two other ways: volunteer to help at the new store (call us up at 541-8300,) or send your testimonial to lauren@homeresource.org or abe@homeresource.org.
Please Tell Us Your Stories
Calling all customers, volunteers, friends, and neighbors!! We are seeking testimonials describing how Home Resource has improved your life, or how we have enabled you to accomplish a project you couldn’t otherwise afford – we want to know how we have met your needs. And why are we asking this of you? Not only because we love to hear about your projects and share great ideas, but because your personal stories will help strengthen our fundraising efforts, allowing us to demonstrate with hard evidence the benefit we bring to people’s lives. Even if you can’t donate monetarily to Home Resource, your testimonials are a great way to help us out. (Let us know if we have your permission to share your full name along with your testimonial.) Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon.
“I am a teacher and my wife works part time. We have three little girls and we have a hard time making ends meet. We finally finished our unfinished basement and would not have been able to do so without the help of Home Resource. With the prices for materials in regular stores so high, we would not have been able to afford this project. We purchased everything from insulation, electrical, sheetrock, two by fours, paint, plumbing and many more things from you. We estimate that we saved about $1500 on materials bought at Home Resource. This amount is huge when it comes to having extra funds to buy the necessary things need to raise our children.”
– Dave from Missoula
