Discount Home Improvement Store. Open to the public!
Habitat for Humanity of Kent County opened its first ReStore in May of 2004, and it was an immediate success. Our ReStores offer new and gently used home improvement materials, fixtures, appliances, and furniture to the general public at prices 50-70% below average retail rates. Products are donated to ReStore by generous individuals, corporations, builders, or organizations, then resold to generate revenues for building Habitat homes throughout Kent and Northern Ottawa Counties. The ReStores are staffed by dedicated volunteers and Habitat staff members.
ReStore is a "win-win" venture for all:
■ Homeowners and landlords in need of low cost materials can purchase itmes to improve their homes, thereby improving their neighborhood, building community pride, increasing property values, and creating safer, more stable communities.
■ Tons of re-usable materials find new life rather than create pollution and waste in landfills.
■ Resources are conserved through recycling.
■ Donors may be eligible for a tax deduction.
■ Habitat for Humanity raises funds to build new homes in the community.
■ Volunteers from all walks of life come together to help improve their community, providing hope and security for those in need of a hand up, not a hand out.
