We at Habitat for Humanity are so lucky to have a ReStore operation on site. Our resale stores benefit Habitat and the surrounding community in three important ways:

First, we give new life to goods that may have otherwise been thrown away. By accepting and reselling used furniture, appliances and building supplies, we’re helping our community stay green!

Second, we provide wonderful goods at a great savings. Need a new refrigerator? Want to furnish a new apartment? Need a sofa for that basement playroom? Want to refresh the lighting or fixtures in your home? Come see us! We can help you find what you need at a great price!

Finally, our ReStore supports our Habitat operation AND builds homes! Thanks to our ReStore, we are able to sustain our operations and ensure that donations go directly to building homes for our partner families. In addition, the ReStore also helps sustain our building fund.

The goods in our Restore change from week to week, so you never know what you might find!

Want to donate? Give us a call! If you need to schedule a pick-up, we’re happy to come take the donation from your home.

Want to shop? We’re open to the public on Thursdays 12p-8pm, Fridays 12pm-5pm and Saturdays 10am-1pm. Come see us at our location at 2365 Rust Avenue!

Want more information? Check out the ReStore’s website and like us on facebook. We post photos of new items regularly and keep those sites updates with new information!

We are especially conscious of our mission as children go back to school all over Southeast Missouri this week. Studies show that a secure, stable home environment is one of the keys to success for children. Yet, we also know that many children in our area lack a place of refuge at the end of the day – somewhere to read, study, play and live with their families. It is our hope that we can continue to find these families, and to provide not just a better living situation, but a better future for all of our homeowners.

To that end, we seek the help of our many supporters. We often get questions about how to support Habitat and there are a number of ways you can help us provide homes for those in need:

Donate: We accept tax deductible cash donations, donations of items to the ReStore for resale, lots and gifts in kind. We also have several upcoming fundraisers, for which we are actively seeking sponsors.

Volunteer: We rely on volunteer labor to build all of our homes. If you or your organization would like to volunteer on a job site, we would love for you to join us!

Refer: Do you know someone currently living in an insecure environment? Check out our homeowner guidelines and refer them to us to fill out an application.

Shop: Come visit the ReStore! We’re open Thursday and Friday 12pm-5pm and Saturday 10am-1pm. Every dollar spent in the Restore supports our organization.

If any of these support mechanisms appeal to you or your business, please contact us!
