The story of Habitat ReStores!
Habitat ReStores are retail outlets
where quality used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of
normal prices. Proceeds from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction
of Habitat houses within the community. Many affiliates across the United
States and Canada operate successful ReStores—some of which raise enough funds
to build an additional 10 or more houses per year.
Materials sold by Habitat ReStores
are usually donated from building supply stores, contractors, demolition crews
or from individuals who wish to show their support for Habitat. In addition to
raising funds, ReStores help the environment by re-channeling good, usable
materials into use.
The benefits of Habitat ReStores!
- The
earth - landfills
are spared tons of waste because the ReStore is the ultimate reuse and recycling center
- Donors - a tax deduction comes with every
donation
- Customers - who doesn't like a bargain?
- Volunteers - regulars stay in shape, get to
see all the cool donations first and have a great
time
- Habitat Families - learn about building products
while completing part of their sweat equity
- Habitat
for Humanity - we
build homes with low-income families who need a decent place to live while the ReStore
helps cover administrative costs
