On Tuesday, thirteen Rotary Club of Grand Rapids members gathered at @Habitat for Humanity of Kent County's ReStore North to volunteer. We worked together to assemble lighting fixtures + ceiling fans and organize + price merchandise.
Our team started the afternoon with a tour and introduction to this retail store with a mission. ReStore North sells new and gently used building materials and home improvement products to the community at discounted prices. ReStore proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity of Kent County to help build homes with qualified Habitat homebuyers.
Fellowship was built while we served together, and we were able to support this deserving organization with our time and talents.
Thank you to all who participated! 💪💙💛

Our joint service project on Saturday with Muskegon Rotary Club was a huge success! More than 70 Rotarians and their families combined their efforts to clean up the waterfront property at the Boys and Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore. Decades of overgrowth was removed in the resulting celebration of service to community.
THIS is Rotary!
