What is a Habitat ReStore?
A ReStore is a retail business which sells new and
gently-used home building materials at affordable

diverting large amounts of reusable materials from
landfills and providing these products to customers
at generously-discounted costs.

What does the ReStore sell?
Sales items may consist of, but are not limited to:
home appliances, cabinets, lighting and plumbing
fixtures, carpet and padding, lumber, tools,
windows, doors, various household items, and
assorted furniture.
Where do the proceeds from the sales go?
Proceeds earned from ReStore sales support the
mission of the various Habitat For Humanity
organizations in northwest Ohio, helping fund the
construction of new Habitat houses within the local
community.
Where do items come from?
All merchandise will be provided by donations from
contractors, suppliers, individuals and
organizations.

Is there anything else that I can do to help?
Absolutely! We are always in need of donations of
sellable merchandise with which to stock our
shelves. Your donations might even be
tax-deductible! Keep us in mind when you're cleaning
out your house, moving, or simply tell your friends,
