Habitat for Humanity of Great Falls hosted a Business After Hours event on January 27th at its ReStore, co-hosted with the Great Falls Chamber of Commerce. Held from 4-6pm at 401 3rd Ave. S., this event brought together 49 local business owners, nonprofit leaders, and community members for another great evening of networking.
​

The Habitat for Humanity ReStores operate as nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers, offering new and slightly used furniture, home décor, building materials, and appliances at discounted prices. The ReStore in Great Falls is operated by manager Jolene Hansard, with proceeds supporting affordable housing initiatives and community improvement efforts both locally and internationally.

The event not only offered good conversation, but also information about Habitat for Humanity’s programs and services in the Great Falls area. Attendees had the opportunity to explore the ReStore through an interactive scavenger hunt, designed to increase familiarity with the store's layout, merchandise, and mission, with prizes awarded to participants.

Habitat for Humanity staff were available throughout the evening to answer questions and share information on their current and upcoming projects. The main hosts of the event included: outreach specialist Tammie Hickey and executive director Danny Boyer, who kept the event running smoothly throughout the evening.
