Whirlpool exceeds pledge to Habitat Restore

Habitat for Humanity announced Monday that Whirlpool Corp. has exceeded  its 2009 commitment to Habitat Restore outlets with product donations.

Whirlpool, which makes home appliances, had pledged $1 million in products, but exceeded that contribution with  $9 million more worth of products.

Habitat Restore sells used and surplus building supplies at reduced prices. There are 700 Restores in 48 states and 60 in Canada, according to Georgia-based Habitat.
