Most people across the country have heard of or been involved with Habitat for Humanity®. Habitat for Humanity is a Christian ministry which believes strongly that every man, woman and child regardless of race, color or social status deserve safe and affordable housing. They provide low-cost housing to families here in the United States and abroad regardless of their religious beliefs, if any at all.

Habitat for Humanity now encompasses many youth and volunteer programs; including disaster relief wherever possible. You can visit their website for more information at: http://www.habitat.org/how/default.aspx.

The concept of ReStore was created to help generate funds to support Habitat for Humanity's mission to continue to build affordable housing.

What is a ReStore?
The ReStore's mission is to raise funds for the Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity® by selling donated building materials, furniture, and gently used items needed to build or repair a home. These items are offered to the general public at greatly reduced prices.
