What is a ReStore?

The Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials, and appliances to the public at 25% – 75% off the retail price.

Proceeds from the Habitat ReStores help support Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building or improving homes locally and around the world while also diverting reusable material from landfills. Each year the Forsyth County ReStores divert 200 tons of household materials from the landfills!

Shop

Shopping at the ReStore isn’t just another regular shopping experience! Part home improvement store, part home goods store, part resale store, our ReStores have a wide selection that changes daily.
