"What is a ReStore?"
A Habitat ReStore sells, at a discounted price, donated building materials, overstocks of building materials from local stores, or gently used building materials from people remodeling such as windows, doors, hardware, paint, closet organizers, toilets, showers, cabinets, light fixtures, etc.  The monies from the ReStore are then used to build Habitat homes.  One ReStore is known to add, from the earnings, three additional homes per year to its affiliate.  A ReStore would not only help us build more Habitat homes, but would benefit the community in providing local homeowners and landlords with discounted building materials as well as helping the environment by recycling building materials into other homes.  We are also hoping to use the ReStore to help provide training and internships for local vocational schools and colleges as well as with the Department of Job and Family Services and Good Works.
