What's going on at MacHabitat?

Construction site As May comes to a close, we are in the final stages of construction on the 2024 Townhomes! This last month we saw the homes fixed up with appliances and fixtures, trimming, painting and detail work. Carpets have been installed in two of the four homes, and our next projects are cleaning the homes, getting a final appraisal and working through mortgage approval. With everything humming along, move-in for the Moore Family, Cuauxinque Family, Melva Martinez and the Johnson Family is just a few weeks away!

Special call for volunteers: we are in need of support with ReStore Receiving!

Session days and times will vary each month. Information about the next session: Location - MacHabitat ReStore (1040 SE 1st St. McMinnville, OR 97128) (Meet Jennifer at the ReStore cash register!)
