The ReStore Community Center, 210 N. Main St., has served Ada and the surrounding communities for almost 13 years.
While the center’s board, staff, and volunteers remain as committed as ever to continue serving the area, they will soon be doing so under a new name, and are asking the community’s help in choosing it.
“The ReStore name has served us well,” Robert Kanzig, Executive Director for the ReStore Community Center, said. “It, for better or worse, has also served Habitat for Humanity well for longer.”
