Garland County Habitat for Humanity is pleased to announce the addition of Tracie Konnelly as its Associate ReStore Director. In this role, Konnelly will help support the continued growth and success of Habitat’s three ReStore locations while strengthening the organization’s ability to serve the community.

Among Konnelly’s primary responsibilities will be coordinating the integration of a new point-of-sale system across all three ReStore locations and establishing improved inventory control within the organization’s warehouse. Konnelly will also work to develop new partnerships with residential and corporate donors to increase the volume and variety of donations received by the ReStores.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to help grow the ReStores so we can continue to serve our community and support Habitat’s mission of providing affordable housing,” said Konnelly.

Garland County Habitat for Humanity operates three ReStore locations, with proceeds helping support the organization’s homebuilding efforts in Garland County. The ReStores also provide the community with affordable home improvement items while giving donated materials a second life.

“We are excited to welcome her to the ReStore team,” said Ben Baker, ReStore Director. “She brings a fresh perspective, valuable experience and a great energy to the position. I’m confident she will be a tremendous asset to our team and I look forward to seeing the ideas she brings to the table and supporting her as she takes on this role.”

For Konnelly, joining Garland County Habitat for Humanity represents an exciting new chapter. “It’s time to start a new adventure, and I’m really excited about what’s ahead,” commented Konnelly. “I’m looking forward to joining the ReStore team, getting to know the people who make it so special and helping find new ways to grow the stores and strengthen the impact they have in our community.”
