North American Van Lines and Habitat for Humanity have developed a national partnership to encourage northAmerican customers to help create affordable housing by donating appliances, furniture, home accessories, and building  materials to local Habitat ReStore home improvement stores and donation centers.  North American customers may make donations through one of the more than 300 northAmerican agent locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. This agreement represents the first and only national donation program between the moving services industry and Habitat ReStores. "Habitat for Humanity is an outstanding organization whose guiding principles and community focus closely align with those of northAmerican Van Lines," says Andy Kroll, general manager of North American Van Lines, Inc. "We, including our entire agent network, are delighted to be able to support Habitat for Humanity ReStores and the organization's affordable housing work, with this unique donation program." The Go North Habitat ReStore Donation Program will allow northAmerican customers located in markets served by a local Habitat ReStore to donate household items to their local ReStore in exchange for a charitable tax deduction. Donated materials are sold by Habitat ReStores to raise funds to support the affiliates' local house-building efforts. Funds raised from the sale of the donated items will be used to further Habitat for Humanity's mission worldwide. "This is an exciting new partnership for Habitat for Humanity ReStore resale outlets," said Matt Clark, senior director, Supply Chain, HFHI – Restore. "Habitat affiliates rely on donations of household and construction items for Habitat ReStores, and we are grateful to North American Van Lines and their customers for joining us in this effort to help raise funding to create affordable housing."  Habitat ReStores sell new and gently used household items and building materials to the public at a fraction of the retail price. In turn, they invest the funds into creating affordable housing and building better communities.
