Habitat ReStore seeks lumber for tornado-damaged Reading

Lawrence Habitat ReStore is seeking donations of lumber to help it meet anticipated needs from victims of last month’s tornado in Reading.

The ReStore, 708 Conn., is partnering with Emporia Salvation Army, which is offering tornado victims vouchers valued at $50 to $150 to help repair storm damage. The vouchers may be used at the ReStore.

ReStore officials say the biggest need in Reading is lumber, and that’s why officials are seeking such donations — particularly plywood and 2x4s.

Donations are accepted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays.
