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 to the public. 

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.

Find fantastic new and gently used home improvement items below retail prices and support Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County’s mission all at the same time!

Cabinets or appliances from deconstruction or remodel projects

If you are planning a kitchen remodel or moving to a new house, the Habitat ReStore’s Deconstruction team can remove gently used cabinets and appliances from your home and transport them to a local ReStore to be sold.

The Decon Team, a dedicated group of volunteers, can remove cabinets, appliances, and fixtures of all sorts! 

If you have items to donate, a Decon Volunteer will visit your home to see if your items qualify for the program. A small fee may apply for deconstruction. To learn more about our deconstruction services or to schedule a visit contact Vince Cannino, Director of Procurement, at 336.817.8107 or email vince@habitatforsyth.org

Donations should be in working order and have no missing hardware or broken parts; deep scratches, chips or cracks; fabric with stains, tears or strong odors; pet hair or stains; or other major damage. Donation criteria may change over time, so please contact the store for more details. The store is happy to provide a donation receipt for tax purposes.
