Shopping at local grocery stores helps our Habitat for Humanity

Lake Chelan Valley Habitat for Humanity is extremely pleased to report recent receipt amounts as of April 21,  from Manson’s Red Apple and Chelan’s IGA stores 1% Donation Program. Manson’s grocery store receipts totaled $9,634; Chelan’s were $16,705 One percent of those totals go to Habitat to build homes with partner families.
 Chelan’s IGA owners Tony and Trish Race of Chelan, and Manson’s Red Apple Market owners Eric and Marietta “Pete” Jacobsen of Manson’s store donate 1% or more of each receipt to Lake Chelan Valley Habitat for Humanity.
 Karen Feek, a Habitat volunteer of many years, collects receipts from the store or  receipt box located outside Habitat’s Thrift Store located at 518 E. Woodin Ave. in uptown Chelan. It takes many hours for her to total donated receipts in increments of $1,000. She then turns them back into each store.  The store owners then send our local Habitat a check for 1% (or more) of the total receipts.
 Since March of 2007, Habitat has been the recipient of the 1% program from these generous store owners. They have donated $8,165 from your grocery store receipts. Thank you! Now, all you have to do is donate your receipts to help working families buy a home.
 Habitat and its Partner Families have built 19 homes so far.  Thank you for helping Habitat through such a simple act of thoughtfulness.
