We’re thrilled to celebrate Ali ReauVeau as Nevada County Habitat’s Volunteer of the Year! Ali brings creativity, heart, and a touch of magic to everything she does at the ReStore.

Known for her artistic flair, Ali has a special talent for transforming forgotten furniture into stunning works of art. Whether she’s refinishing a grandfather clock or giving new life to a well-loved chair, her process always includes LOVE + Inspiration + Time.

Ali’s generosity shines through in everything she shares — from her handmade teacup candles crafted with donated ReStore items, to the cheerful “bubbles and gifts” she brings to brighten the team’s day.

The award was presented by ReStore Team Lead Shelly Childs, who shared how much Ali’s kindness and creativity uplift the entire ReStore crew.

A local artist and “fairy of inspiration,” Ali reminds us how imagination and care can transform not just furniture, but community. Thank you, Ali, for sharing your magic with us!
