Habitat Restore

They have opened a Habitat Restore close by our house. It is a great second hand store to support because all the proceeds go to support Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is a nonprofit organization who builds homes for those who would not normally be able to buy their own home. Their mission is to end poverty housing and homelessness around the world. The houses are not simply given away though. The family must make a down payment, pay monthly mortgage payments and volunteer hundreds of hours to help build their home as well as others. All mortgage payments are put back into the habitat fund and then used again to help another family. This is a great program. and is world wide. If you would like more information on how Habitat for Humanity works, follow this link to their home page. Habitat for Humanity

All proceeds from the Restore go to Habitat for Humanity. They carry gently used furniture and appliances. In addition, they have light and water fixtures, cabinetry, bathroom accessories and lots of different types of building materials. Not only do you support Habitat with your purchase but you keep these used items from the landfills. It is a win-win situation. Next time, you need some building materials check your local store out. It will be well worth your time. Also, instead of throwing away a gently used item that is listed above, take it to your local store to donate.
