I just discovered today that the HomeStore run by the Waukesha Habitat for Humanity has closed. Furthmore, they no longer have a paid Executive Director, and are searching for a volunteer Director.
It's unfortunate they couldn't keep the store open, and I wish them the best of luck in finding a volunteer director that can lead the organization in their future building projects. If you are interested, or know of someone who would be, call the Waukesha Habitat at (262) 309-6025.

It is very said - I wouldn't work for them if I -was- paid. They haven't been able to start a house in years. The store closed even though it was doing a great service to the community, place for volunteers, and they were making a ton of money - cash drawer often overflowing! So where did all that money go? Maybe into salaries of everyone else, so the solution seems to be lets just have a 'volunteer' run our business and we won't need money!
Anonymous,
Thanks for your comment. It could be helpful to better understand the problem if you would provide more information, if you have it. Who closed the store and why? Do you have information on how well the store was doing, what the budget for Habitat was like, etc.? Do you have a suggestion for a better solution? I don't know much about this issue, and I appreciate any insights anyone can provide.
