    ReStore resale outlets


    ReStore resale outlets sell new fixtures (like these toilets), as well as gently used furniture, home accessories, appliances and building materials.

    Got to be a place to find some real value and re workable stuff for the utility room or studio…


    Habitat’s ReStore resale outlets sell reusable and surplus building materials to the public 

    While every ReStore outlet is a little different, most focus on home improvement goods like furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances.

    ReStore resale outlets accept donated goods which are sold to the general public at a fraction of the retail price. The proceeds help local Habitat affiliates fund the construction of Habitat homes within their communities.

    Promoting reuse and recycling
    ReStore resale outlets provide an environmentally and socially responsible way to keep good, reusable materials out of the waste stream while providing funding for Habitat’s community improvement work.

    Despite its incredibly low density, aerogel is one of the most powerful materials on the planet. It can support thousands of times its own weight, block out intense heat, cold and sound – yet it is 1,000 times less dense than glass, nearly as transparent and is composed of %99.8 air. The lowest-density silica-based aerogels are even lighter than air.
