The South Shore Habitat for Humanity is pleased to announce Patrick Gately as Manager of ReStore, South Shore Habitat for Humanity’s community donation store.

Prior to joining South Shore Habitat for Humanity Gately was Manager of Pier 1 Imports in Hyannis, MA. A native of Brockton, Gately earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston. He is a new member of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce and resides in Bridgewater MA.

As Manager of Restore, Gately will oversee all aspects of the retail location from scheduling staff and volunteers, sales, marketing and the visual merchandising. His number one priority will be great customer service. He plans to host events and workshops that are open to the community at ReStore.

ReStore is an earth friendly home improvement and donation center that sells new and used building materials, appliances, and furniture and home goods at discounted prices. The organization accepts donations of items and then resells the items to the public. One hundred percent of all proceeds benefit South Shore Habitat for Humanity and its mission of delivering affordable homeownership opportunities to families. The ReStore is located at 357 Columbia Road (Rte. 53) in Hanover.

Instead of having items end up in the landfill, ReStore offers people the chance to recycle and repurpose gently used items. ReStore also carries a line of recycled latex paint that is produced by Recolor® Paints, (formerly The Paint Exchange). They take latex paint that would otherwise go to waste and process it into recolor® brand paint for sale. ReStore carries their line of indoor, outdoor and chalk paint.

“We are pleased to have someone with Patrick’s experience and talents join our organization,” said Martine Taylor, Executive Director for South Shore Habitat for Humanity. “The ReStore is a unique place and Patrick’s creativity will be challenged by the unique mix of items that we bring in every day. We invite the public to stop by and learn more about us.”
