Are you a Habitat For Humanity of Lakeland volunteer?
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. ~Edward Everett Hale
Lakeland Habitat for Humanity only exist because of people like you who take the time out of your busy schedule and come to the aid of others. It was once said by an unknown that, “Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something”. It is with that attitude, we find ourselves coming together with people from all walks of life. I can not prick the finger of another and hope to see green or purple blood. If I prick the finger of my neighbor I will see the same color blood that came down the side of Christ on calvaries cross. As we already know, when Jesus died, he FREELY GAVE his life for ALL mankind.
Lakeland Habitat for Humanity has developed a new website dedicated to Lakeland Habitat Restore. The Restore is a home improvement center that sells quality new and recycled items at a fraction of the common cost. The store receives new inventory weekly. You’ll find items such as laminate flooring, ceramic tile, cabinets, plumbing supplies, lighting solutions, building materials and more. Shopping at the ReStore not only benefits you, but it also helps the environment. Over the past two years, the ReStore has recycled nearly 400 tons of material, keeping it out of our local landfills. And ReStore proceeds go back into building new Habitat houses.
Donating to the ReStore not only helps you find a new home for unwanted or unused items, but also provides us with the inventory we need to resell to the public. Your donation also helps the environment by keeping usable goods out of landfills!Please bring your donation to the ReStore, located at 1317 George Jenkins blvd. Lakeland, FL 33815.
To schedule a donation pick-up , or for more information about donating to the ReStore, please email or call 863.682.3812

As we quickly approach December 25, we find ourselves being consumed with the hustle of the season. We rush from store to store in an attempt to find a nice cardigan or pearl earrings advertised on television, we often times get so bogged down until we have no strength to even take the items out of the car once we arrive home. We sigh relief once we walk into our homes, but we quickly realize we forgot to purchase Aunt Sally a gift so we rush back to the car, speed to the local department store, all the while hoping and praying they did not close. To your surprise all entrances and exits are securely locked. How many times has this happened to you?
Although it may be cliché, love IS the greatest gift you could ever give. The Lakeland Habitat for Humanity would like to first extend to you and your family a very Merry Christmas! We hope and pray something said or done by our team has inspired you to reach out and lend a hand to someone who may be in need this holiday season.
We are asking you to look within yourself and think of a time when you needed not just a hand out, but a hand up. Lakeland Habitat is here to extend that hand up to someone who may be in need. The question may be posed, “What can I do to help?” The Lakeland Habitat for Humanity Organization has several different programs in which we all can contribute.
Your online donation will ensure Lakeland Habitat has all they need to aid the families who rely on their services each year. Whether your donation is great or small, we are still appreciative.
Perhaps you may not be able to give financially at this time, but you still would like to contribute. You can become a Lakeland Habitat Volunteer. Our volunteers are the back bone of the organization. They work as a team not only when constructing a home, but also working different functions put forth by Lakeland Habitat.
Lakeland Habitat also offers a program to aid low-income homeowners repair and maintain their homes. A Brush with Kindness uses volunteers, donated materials and no-interest loans to make repairs affordable, helping low-income homeowners continue to live independently and securely in their homes. A Brush with Kindness is about connecting people and restoring homes through simple acts of kindness so that home owners can once again live in a safe and decent home.
Big or small your contribution is greatly appreciated!!!!
