Faces of Habitat: Meet Savannah

Every day, our ReStore team supports our mission of building homes, communities, and hope through the power of teamwork, from leading a fleet of ReStore trucks to making curbside pickups. From greeting every ReStore shopper, keeping our stores in tip-top shape, and hosting groups of volunteers, our ReStore employees help to lay the groundwork for bringing our mission to life and making the dream of homeownership a reality for our homebuyers. Savannah, who runs our ReStore Call Center, not only embodies our mission but is central to Habitat’s work, generating much-needed revenue and serving as the first voice that many of our donors hear when reaching out to Habitat Chesapeake. 

Originally from Charlotte, N.C., Savannah moved to Maryland three years ago with her husband, who is an active-duty servicemember. As the Call Center Team Lead, Savannah speaks with every ReStore donor, managing and scheduling ReStore donation pickups while keeping the sales floors stocked with good stuff at great prices – which in turn leads to more revenue for our mission!

Even though the job is demanding, Savannah has found her time with Habitat Chesapeake both meaningful and rewarding. “There are multiple things about my job that I love. The people who support us and who donate to us are doing so because they really believe in supporting our mission. It is amazing to see the amount of community support that we receive.”

The community support that Savannah refers to has helped us raise more than $3.6 million to support Habitat Chesapeake’s mission and serve our communities. From donation pick-up to purchase, your support of our ReStores make a huge impact.
