Johns Island, SC (toilet) – The restoration of Sea Island celebrates more than 25 years and supports habitat for houses in humanity.
One million dollars is inserted annually to support the wider mission of the structure and restore of Habitat for Humanity Homes.
According to the Executive Director of the Sea Island Store, regular buyers contribute to recovery weekly and sometimes even every day.
“I would like to come here twice a week because it is far from my house,” said Renee Jones from Mount Pleasant.
Jones' mother, Colette Brat, visited from outside the city and the restoration is one of her first stops.
“We come here every trip, I don't think we miss. It is part of the plan,” said Rosati.
If what is bought, does not fit on the plan as expected, it can be recycled instead of going to the landfill.
“I try to support it. I mean if I buy something and it doesn't work, then I'll bring it back to you,” said buyer James G Reed Jr.
In this way, his trade could become her treasure.
“The money we earn every year we usually have enough that we pay completely for the building materials for four houses every year,” said John Rhoden, Executive Director of Sea Island, Habitat for Humanity Executive.
While the restoration of Georgetown has announced that it would permanently close their doors due to a lack of funds in May, Sea Island's employees have been saying strongly since 1999.
“We had years and years of success, and in fact we still have years after years of record, which is great. Many families moved to Johns Island, James Island, Wadmalaw, and I think when they buy these houses, they want something new and they could sell us what is in this house.
In part because of the support of the community and those who benefit from work, future recipients of the houses have to work 300 hours with Habitat for Humanity, and according to employee Todd Kelly, the time will be spent in this restoration.
“It's nice to see how these people come here. They have a smile on their faces, they are happy to be here. It just rubs themselves for everyone and gives them a feeling for why they are here,” said Kelly.
“It definitely encourages me to buy more things here because I know that it is possible for a good cause,” said Jones.
