ReStore Truck has arrived!
Arrival of newly wrapped ReStore Truck.
The ReStore is coming this June! The Greater Lowell Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a store located in Billerica, MA will sell new and gently used items to the public. All items are donated to the ReStore and are a tax deductible contribution. Once cleaned and priced, the items are then sold to the public at steeply discounted prices. Whenever possible, appropriate items are set aside for the construction of Habitat homes. Income from the ReStore generates funding to build more homes.

Women Build Week 2012
The 5th Annual Women Build week, was a huge success! For 5 days, women came out to build. On Monday May 7, 2012 the final wall on the final home on Carter Way, Bedford was raised. Despite the rainy week, over 65 women accomplished a tremendous amount of work. We built and raised walls, painted, cut insulation, tiled, moved lumber, spread dirt, hung floor joist, hammered, sawed and began to lay the plywood for the second floor. We thank Flat Bread Pizza, Cracker Barrel and women from Westford for donating some wonderful food (we ate well!). Also Pyara Spa and Salon of Burlington invited the women who volunteered to a wrap up party on Friday evening. We all toasted with a Champagne punch for a wonderful week.
The Women Build project brings women together to advocate and build safe, decent affordable housing. To date, there are over 1800 Women Build homes nationally. We are asking for $25.00 donation to build during this week. Donations may be made online or by check.
This fundraiser helps us to build more homes for local families in need.

Habitat for Humanity Builds One of the Most Energy Efficient Homes in Westford!
"Wouldn’t you love to cut your energy bills by 40%? Think of the savings over the years! Think you need solar panels, geothermal, or a wind turbine to get there? Think again.
Did you know that in 2008, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell in conjunction with Building Science Corporation, built a super-efficient home in Westford? The estimated savings were roughly 40% over a similar more traditional home. These savings equate to $1295 per year. OK, but how much would this cost up front? The additional initial investment for this 1400 sq foot home was $10,000." Read more of Kristina Greene!
Volunteers Needed at the ReStore and at the Build on Carter Way Bedford. Join us as we prepare the ReStore for the Grand Opening in June and as we begin construction of the 8th and final home on Carter Way, Bedford. To volunteer, click on the Volunteer button on the right.
