One year ago, we opened the doors of Restored Thrift Store with a big vision, a lot of faith, and no idea just how much this community would make possible.
Today, as we celebrate Restored’s first anniversary, we finally get to share a secret we’ve been holding onto and one of the biggest announcements in the history of May May’s Homes Inc.
Darlene Wallace and her family have donated $152,000 to May May’s Homes Inc. to purchase the land for our future tiny homes.
This gift has an especially meaningful story behind it. Our Executive Director, Terry Howard, and the Wallace family share a connection that goes all the way back to the 1960s. Through the years, that relationship has come full circle in a way we never could have planned.
We truly believe God brought the Wallace family into this mission at exactly the right time. Their heart for young people and their vision for what can be accomplished through this project align so closely with the heart and mission of May May’s Homes Inc.
As a way to honor that history and the incredible role their family has played in making this next step possible, Darlene Wallace and her daughter, Whitney, were asked to choose a name for the property in honor of Dan Wallace. They chose Wallace New Horizon Village.
Wallace New Horizon Village will be the name of the property owned by May May’s Homes Inc., where our nonprofit will develop tiny homes and continue its mission of serving youth aging out of foster care and at-risk homeless youth.
There really are no words big enough to thank Darlene, Whitney and the Wallace family for believing in this mission. What we have talked about, prayed about, planned for and worked toward for years now has a place to become a reality.
Over this first year since opening Restored in August 2025, the generosity of this community has allowed us to serve foster families, individuals and families in need while continuing to work toward the long-term mission of May May’s Homes Inc.
We are incredibly grateful for every customer, donor, volunteer, church, business, community partner, staff and board member who has given their money, time, talents, prayers and support to make all of this possible.
