Why Habitat for Humanity?
Habitat for Humanity Canada brings communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership.
What is the Re Store?
Habitat for Humanity Re Stores are home and building supply stores that accept and resell quality new and used furniture, housewares, and building materials. Shopping at a Habitat Re Store is a socially conscious decision, as funds generated are used to fund local Habitat for Humanity homebuilding projects. It’s also an environmentally conscious decision, as much of what is sold is product that is new, gently used or customer returns that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
Habitat Re Stores are independently owned reuse stores operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations. Proceeds are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in local communities and around the world.
