Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, May 16, 2019

Robert Kanzig, ReStore Community Center executive director, updated Ada Area Chamber of Commerce members on the Main Street non-profit organization during the May 15 chamber breakfast at the Ada Public Library.

“The ReStore name has served us well,” said Kanzig, “It, for better or worse, has also served Habitat for Humanity well for longer.”
