LIMA, OH (WLIO) - If Santa gifted you with new furniture or appliances for Christmas, chances are you may have old appliances that still work but are no longer needed. Before ending up in a landfill, you can give those items a second life by donating them to the Lima ReStore.
Not only is it free and easy, but all proceeds benefit the Lima-area Habitat for Humanity. The ReStore sells everything from housewares, appliances, furniture, and building materials that are new or gently used at reduced prices. They will even accept used vehicles with Habitat's Cars for Homes program.
"When you donate that appliance or that piece of furniture, it will actually benefit a family in the Lima area who needs better housing, and it's also really convenient and it's free, we offer a pick-up service," said Benji Bergstrand, manager of the Lima Habitat for Humanity Restore.
The Lima ReStore is always in need of helping hands. Volunteers can serve in many ways from cashiers to cleaning and processing those donated items to testing electrical donations.
