As of April 8, 2020 all staff members are working remotely from home, and all construction sites are closed to staff.
We continue to ask that ReStore donors refrain from dropping off items at the exterior of our store or in the dumpster, as donations will be ruined by weather and Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County will then be responsible for waste removal and incur fees, taking necessary funds away from our mission.
If at all possible, we ask you to hold on to all donations until we are able to reopen our services, as it will be vitally important for us to continue operations once the situation around COVID-19 improves.
Our operations as of 4/8/2020 are:
Office (UPDATED AS OF 4/6/2020)
Steps we are taking:
- Our office is now closed and staff members are now working remotely.
- A phone number is posted at our main entrance for any deliveries or unscheduled visitors.
