August 17, Island Market

— from Jim Duffield —

Mark your calendars! The Skagit Habitat for Humanity Store truck is coming back to Orcas Island on August 17.

After coordinating with Pete Moe of the Transfer Station, SHFH plans to continue periodic trips to Orcas until the new Exchange is up and running. Habitat realizes that islanders have few choices to donate usable materials during the downtime of the Exchange, and your donations get put to good use.

Watch for details in early August as to where and when donations may be made. If possible, the truck will also make some pickups beforehand. More info to follow.
