How do Habitat ReStores support Habitat for Humanity?

With nearly 900 stores in 49 states, chances are you’ve come across a Habitat ReStore, most likely the one right here in Green Bay on Allouez Avenue. But did you know that Habitat for Humanity ReStores are more than just resale stores? They actually support Habitat for Humanity’s mission in several very important ways. 

How ReStores support Habitat 

The proceeds from purchases made at Habitat ReStores go to the Habitat for Humanity programs supported by the local office. Then, the funds are put to work in the local community. In Green Bay, the revenue generated from sales funds not only the office operations, but all any remaining dollars support the Homeownership Program. Being able to cover operating expenses means that all philanthropy and fundraising we do go directly towards home builds rather than salaries or administrative expenses. 

Put simply, when you support your local Habitat ReStore, you are helping individuals and families in your community secure safe, affordable housing.
