You can help Habitat as you prepare for your next home improvement project!  The ReStore is a new and used building materials store operated by Houston County Habitat for Humanity.  Local businesses, contractors, or others needing more shelf space donate items to the store, and in turn, we sell the items at a discount rate.  This way, everyone wins.
  • Items are sold at an average 75% off retail price
  • High quality items are recycled instead of being thrown into a landfill.
  • 100% of the profits support the work of Habitat! 

We’re open Tuesday through Friday, from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm and Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  You can come by and shop or even get involved in the operation.  Volunteers provide invaluable service to the store and work a variety of jobs.  Material donations can be made in a couple of ways:

  • Drop your item off at the store.
  • Call the store and have them pick your item up.
