/24-7PressRelease/ - Arlington Heights, IL, August 27, 2008 - Today, the Doubletree Hotel Chicago-Arlington Heights will donate furniture to ReStore Elgin, a building materials reuse center in Elgin, Ill. that donates profits to Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley. The donation, which includes more than 200 chairs, 80 ottomans and 700 lamps from hotel rooms is valued at more than $250,000. All of the Doubletree's furniture will also be available for purchase to those wanting to make home improvements on a budget.
After receiving the donation today, ReStore Elgin will make the furniture available for sale to the general public. Sales generated at the ReStore Elgin store will then support Habitat for Humanity's house building program in the northern Fox Valley area.
