Habitat Store offers teachers free wallpaper

With school just around the corner, materials for crafts and projects are in demand – and supplies can be costly.

The Habitat Store of Spokane, 850 E. Trent Ave., would like to help area kids and teachers by donating approximately 10,000 rolls of wallpaper and border to teachers who use it for their classrooms for projects.

There is no limit to how much paper one teacher can pick up, and it’s on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies are gone.

The Habitat Store sells new and used building supplies to raise money for Habitat for Humanity of Spokane, which builds homes for low-income families.
