The Sturgeon Bay-based non-profit that prides itself on helping its neighbors with their homes is asking for your help repairing theirs.
Door County Habitat for Humanity battled flood waters related to Tuesday’s storms that wreaked havoc across the county, including wiping out some area roadways. Executive Director Lori Allen says standing water is as high as eight inches in some spots through its offices and ReStore, the resale shop that provides critical funding for their affordable housing efforts in Door County.
While much of what was in the office and ReStore could be saved, other portions will meet a different fate. As of Friday, ReStore Manager Heather Thyrion says they have already filled three 20-foot dumpsters with items and building materials that had to be tossed. Allen suggests the organization will lose thousands of dollars that could have gone to other efforts.
Similar to when they are building a home or providing critical repairs, Allen is asking for volunteers to either help do the work or ensure the workers have drinks and food for their efforts.
