Someone comes, gives you a little bit of money and away it goes,&#8221; Calhoun said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Purchases at the ReStore location in Port St. Lucie have helped build 89 homes in St. Lucie County. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Calhoun insists their mission is not changing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">&#8220;This is going to allow us to free up to allow us for our true mission, which is providing home ownership opportunities and critical repairs to low-income homeowners,&#8221; Calhoun said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">While the St. Lucie County stores are closing, Habitat ReStores in Martin and Indian River counties will remain open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 Scripps Media, Inc.
