Habitat ReStore

More than 50 Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the United States and Canada have established ReStores, which sell quality used and surplus building materials at a fraction of retail prices. Proceeds from ReStores fund the construction of Habitat houses in the community.

All materials sold by Habitat ReStores were donated for that purpose -- often from contractors with excess supplies, from demolition crews salvaging reusable materials, or from the general public. In addition to raising funds, ReStores help the environment by diverting thousands of tons of usable materials away from landfills.

Waste Reduction in Action

Habitat ReStore is an innovative response to the current landfill crisis.

Serving as a "thrift-shop" for reusable building materials, it offers a great place where good, resaleable building materials can be purchased. Builders, contractors, do-it-yourselfers and renovators can donate new and used building materials to the Habitat ReStore and avoid dumping charges and get a charitable donation receipt for the fair market value of the product donated.

Stores and manufactures can donate end-of-line, scratch and dent, old stock, customer returns, and avoid the cost of returning them to the manufacturer.

These same builders, contractors and stores, along with general public, can then shop at the Habitat ReStore for quality new & used materials at 40%-75% off the original cost.
