You can once again search for treasures while supporting affordable housing in Door County after Door County Habitat for Humanity reopened its offices and ReStore on Tuesday. Two weeks ago, Door County Habitat for Humanity was among the many homes and businesses impacted when approximately four inches of rain fell on Sturgeon Bay over two hours, forcing flood waters to go in every direction. The result meant that the organization known for building and rehabbing homes had to do the same for its facility. Volunteers worked through the holiday week to prepare the building for reopening, filling three 20-foot dumpsters. Executive Director Lori Allen says it took the entire community to help it bounce back.

Because flooding is not covered by the organization’s insurance policy, Allen estimates the repairs and lost revenue from the closure will cost them approximately $45,000. To help close the gap, Door County Habitat for Humanity is hosting a special event at the ReStore on July 20th with live music, food trucks, and more.
