Due to the amount of applications we have already received, we have stopped taking applications for ramps in Rock Island county, but applications remain open for Scott County. Applicants must own their home, and meet income criteria. If you or someone you know is in need of an accessibility ramp, please give our office a call at 563-359-9066 or stop by Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM to pick up an application. 

Name: Belinda Holbrook

Current Volunteer Roles: Family Support Committee Chair, ReStore Cashier

How long have you volunteered with HFHQC?

I started in 1995 when I was asked to be a mentor for a Partner Family. I have continued on the Family Support committee since then. I have also served on the Family Selection committee and Habitat Board. I helped build one house from start to finish. I volunteer weekly at the Habitat ReStore and teach an occasional craft class there.

Why do you volunteer with HFHQC?

I love that we sell houses with a no interest loan so that low-income families can afford them. I admire the hard work that families do to earn sweat equity. It's important that volunteers work side-by-side with partner families and get to know each other. The ReStore diverts items from the landfill and in doing so raises money for Habitat.

What do you do when you are not volunteering with us?

I read, quilt, garden, and help with our church's food pantry.

Thank you Belinda for sharing your time and talents with us!

Repair Program: In April we finished a large bathroom project and installed a few exterior doors at two homes. This month, we will be working on a porch in Moline, new gutters and fixing an exterior door in East Moline, and completing some concrete work at a home in Moline.

Ramp Program: Two ramps have been installed already this year! We have ramp installations planned for every Thursday in May.

May is bringing not only beautiful flowers, but also Spring Cleaning at ReStore! We have started power washing the north side of the building in anticipation of a new paint job, just as soon as it warms up.

A huge THANK YOU goes to a group from John Deere Crop Care and Specialty Harvesting who gave their time to volunteer at ReStore in April to help process some deck boards and break down pallets of trellis. If you (or your group) would like to volunteer at ReStore contact Andrew at 563-391-4949 or Andrew@restoreqc.org
