How the Habitat ReStore
Benefits the Community
Habitat ReStore sales support Habitat for Humanity of Magic Valley’s primary objectives of building OR remodeling affordable, energy-efficient houses for low-income families, and for urban residential neighborhood rehabilitation.
Homeowners, landlords, and remodelers have access to materials at low prices, allowing them to maintain their properties, thus increasing neighborhood property values and strengthening the community.
Habitat ReStore diverts large amounts of reusable materials from the landfills, saving valuable resources as well as saving the donor from paying disposal costs.
Daily operations provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups.
Thank you for your support. Your donations may be tax-deductible!
