Office Back Up …

28 Apr

After two days without power, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area’s phones and lights are back on! Our offices and ReStore (both the temporary location in Alton Park, and the construction site) were undamaged.  All of our staff made it through just fine, but our thoughts and prayers are with those of our friends, family and other associates whose homes were damaged or who lost relatives in the storms.
