The cake cutting will be held Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 3:30 p.m.., with the sale going from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. All interested community members are invited to attend. The store is located at 340 South Orem Blvd. sells new and used building materials, appliances, and furniture at a discount to the public to help raise money to further the local Habitat’s affordable housing mission.
