Habitat helps more families
through
Gulf Coast Community Foundation
Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity was excited to learn from Teri A Hansen, president and CEO of “Gulf Coast Community Foundation”, that we were selected for a $35,000 grant toward the purchase of new resale trucks.
For those of you that support our three resale stores either by shopping or donating merchandise, you know that our trucks are all over town picking up or delivering items on a daily basis. Actually, they travel from Burnt Store Marina all the way to Boca Grande and everywhere in between! The timing of pick-ups and deliveries with donor’s schedules is critical. With the aging of our trucks which were purchased “used” in 2001 and 2002, we have been struggling with untimely breakdowns that translate into costly repairs and lost revenue.
“Having reliable trucks for our stores will increase revenue which in turn creates more opportunities for us to provide families in need with a safe, decent, affordable home of their own”, stated Gabrielle Reineck, Senior Director of Outreach for Charlotte County Habitat.
Gulf Coast Community Foundation and their donors have transformed our region through bold and proactive philanthropy. Gulf Coast is a public charity that was created in 1995 and has invested more than $130 million in grants. Learn more at GulfCoastCF.org.
