The Store That Builds Homes
There have been quite a few exciting changes happening at Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County! From staff updates and ReStore improvements to new community partnerships, we have been busy growing, learning, and finding new ways to better serve our community. We are excited about what the future holds and look forward to sharing this next chapter with you!
As the seasons change, we are reminded that the work we do would not be possible without the continued support, generosity, and dedication of our community. Whether you donate, volunteer, shop at the ReStore, or support our mission in other ways, you play an important role in helping us build a stronger community. Thank you for continuing to grow alongside us!
ReStore Updates
Our ReStore is always evolving, and we are continually looking for ways to improve the shopping and donation experience while better serving our community. Even as the weather gets colder, we are still accepting donations throughout the winter and continuing to offer donation pickups!
A reminder of our current hours:
Store Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
Donation Drop-Offs: Tuesday–Saturday, until 4:30 PM
We are also excited to share that our ReStore team is growing! We have welcomed several passionate new team members who have already begun bringing fresh energy and ideas to the store. Their hard work and dedication are helping us move in an exciting new direction.
Please join us in welcoming Corbin Hardin and Missy Carter to the Habitat team! We are so happy to have them on board and look forward to all that we will accomplish together.

Building Connections in Our Community
One of the most rewarding parts of Habitat's work is connecting with local organizations, businesses, and community members who share our commitment to making La Plata County a stronger place to live.
We are excited to be participating in this year's Festival of Trees! Habitat has proudly contributed to the event, and we will also be decorating our very own tree as part of the celebration.
Join us on Friday, November 13, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Durango Train Station as we bring our creativity to the festivities! We welcome anyone interested in volunteering and helping us decorate our tree.
We are looking forward to getting creative, meeting members of our community, and taking part in an event that celebrates the spirit of giving and brings people together. We hope to see you there!
A Homeownership Opportunity: Is It Your Turn?
Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County is continuing its work to make affordable homeownership possible for local families.
We have exciting housing opportunities ahead as we work toward purchasing a few homes back into our program.
Are you interested in becoming a Habitat homeowner?
We encourage individuals and families interested in our homeownership program to reach out and learn more about the opportunities available. You don't have to know where to start! Our team is here to answer questions about eligibility, the application process, and what the next steps might look like.
Our Program Director, Marla Holgate, oversees our homeownership program and is happy to help guide interested individuals and families through the process.
