PODS® OF SAN FRANCISCO TO COLLECT HOUSE-BUILDING DONATIONS FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) – September 16, 2013. PODS® of San Francisco has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to collect tools and building supplies to construct new homes and make critical repairs for low-income residents in Oakland and San Jose. PODS will provide three containers—one in Oakland, another in San Carlos, and the third in San Jose—to collect donations to support Habitat for Humanity home building and repair projects.

 

Donations to the Habitat for Humanity ReStores can include newer, working appliances, sinks, low-flow toilets and pipes, cabinets and counter surfaces, furniture, windows, lights, flooring, lumber, and tools. ReStores sell donated building items, furniture and fixtures to the public and use the proceeds to fund Habitat for Humanity projects.
