They sell new and gently used furniture, home decor, appliances, building materials, and more at discounted prices. Proceeds generated from the ReStores support local Habitat for Humanity homebuilding and home repair programs.
Typical ReStore volunteer tasks include:
- Receiving and processing donations
- Assembling and moving furniture
- Stocking shelves
- Landscaping and painting
- And more
