Refresh your home while supporting affordable housing
NIAGARA REGION, ON This spring, Habitat for Humanity Niagara is inviting the community to Spring into Action with the ReStore.
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your space and take on home improvement projects that will make your home feel new again.
The ReStore is a social enterprise retailer where all proceeds fund Habitat for Humanity and help build homes in the community for families in need of a safe, affordable place to live. Residents can shop for affordable home improvement items and donate gently used appliances, furniture, home décor, tools and building materials, while supporting a meaningful cause.
With three ReStores in the Niagara region, you’ll find a wide selection of new and gently used home improvement products, including furniture, lighting, cabinetry, renovation materials and so much more at budget-friendly prices – and you never pay tax.
Spring cleaning is also the perfect time to give items a second life. Donations to the ReStore keep quality materials out of landfills, promote sustainable shopping and provide affordable options for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts and renovators. You can even request a free pick up of larger items through their website and receive a charitable tax receipt for eligible donations.
From furniture and home décor to construction materials, donated items play a vital role in funding Habitat Niagara home builds.
“Behind every donation and every purchase is a family’s future,” says Al Rolleman, Habitat Niagara’s Operations Director. “Spring into Action reminds us that what may feel small to one person can mean everything to another. Donating gently used furniture, home goods and building materials keeps usable items out of landfills while shopping at the ReStore directly helps build safe affordable homes right here in Niagara. Together we are turning generosity into real lasting impact.”
Community members are encouraged to visit their local ReStore to discover unique finds, donate gently used items and support a more sustainable approach to home improvement.
