LaVon Ediger, a well-known local contractor for many years, first conceived the idea for the store which collects and sells used or new excess building materials, tools, hardware, electrical and plumbing fixtures, furniture, floor coverings and much more. He has been overwhelmed by the community response in the forms of a building that wasn’t even for sale, and yet was made available for purchase for the Center; a strong support system of board members from construction, finance, fundraising and many other disciplines who were willing to serve; and since opening, a large and growing base of customers who not only purchase items with proceeds going to other not-for-profits, but who also donate a steady supply of goods to be made available for sale.
