What are Habitat ReStores and how do they help our community?
The Habitat ReStore is a social enterprise retailer that accepts and resells donations of new and gently used furniture, appliances, décor, and home improvement building materials.
Shopping at a Habitat ReStore is a socially conscious decision, as net proceeds cover Habitat Grey Bruce’s administrative costs – so every dollar donated to Habitat goes directly to building affordable homes throughout Grey and Bruce Counties.
It’s also an environmentally conscious decision, as much of what is sold is product that is new, gently used or customer returns that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Since 1991, Habitat ReStores across Canada have diverted over 1 billion pounds from landfill!
