10 Habitat for Humanity ReStore items to help fix up your home

Looking to do a few home renovations or update some decor? Make Habitat for Humanity ReStore the first place you look. 

These nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers sell just what you need to improve your space — at a fraction of the retail price. And in the process, you’ll help improve the lives of those in need of a simple, decent and affordable place to live. 

Below are 10 items most commonly purchased or donated to ReStores:

  1. Appliances
    From in-demand stainless steel dishwashers to countertop blenders, we have a great selection of large and small appliances.
  2. Cabinets
    Cabinetry can be the greatest expense in a kitchen renovation. You can still give your kitchen that dream makeover you’ve been wanting and save a few dollars, too —  or even make unique home pieces. 
  3. New and used furniture
    Looking for pieces with character or pieces that need a little DIY love? Check out our dinettes, bookcases, desks, dressers, chairs and more.
  4. Household goods
    We’re the perfect place to find those treasured items that will decorate any room in your home.
  5. Building materials
    Starting from scratch? Check out our selection of new building materials, including two-by-fours, nails, bricks, drywall and more.
  6. Windows
    Great for your home or as part of your latest DIY project.
  7. Doors
    Perfect as a door, of course, or as wall decor or a headboard.
  8. Lighting
    Set the right mood with the perfect new light fixture, floor lamp, table lamp or ceiling light.
  9. Tile flooring
    Habitat ReStores carry overstock tile suitable for kitchen and bathroom makeovers, or smaller jobs like resurfacing a fireplace. 
  10. Plumbing
    Plumbing issues? We have all kinds of parts to fix or upgrade your plumbing.

Remember: Habitat ReStores are proudly owned and operated by local Habitat affiliates, and proceeds are used to build homes, community and hope locally and around the world. Shop or donate goods and support Habitat!
