Local volunteer will extend support to Habitat Alaska


One of our most dedicated ReStore volunteers, Eric Inman, will be traveling to Alaska this summer to help build Habitat for Humanity homes in Anchorage.

Eric will be taking part in a Global Village trip, a program of Habitat for Humanity International which strives to bring people from all cultures together to build a true "global village" of love, homes, communities and hope. If you have ever thought about traveling to another country and culture while making a difference in the lives of others, we strongly encourage you to take part in a Global Village trip. They are wonderfully organized, safe trips which truly make a different and leave a lasting positive impact.

Eric is a Santa Barbara City College student and has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Santa Barbara since 2009. Eric helps Joel, the ReStore Assistant Manager, with donation pick-ups every Wednesday and Friday mornings. 

We are thrilled that Eric is expanding his Habitat involvement beyond our community and look forward to hearing about his time building homes in Alaska.
