ReStore Volunteer
Donate to a store that makes a real difference, shop at a store that saves you real money!
The ReStore is a unique retail store operated by Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley and open to the public 7 days a week. The store accepts donations from individuals and businesses of new and gently used building materials, tools, furniture and appliances and sells them to the public at 50-75% off retail price.
The ReStore generates important unrestricted funds used to REALIZE more affordable housing in Washtenaw County. It provides our community with high quality materials at reasonable prices to improve and REBUILD existing homes. The ReStore also REDUCES and RECYCLES resources consumed and diverts materials from landfills.
*Each individual will need to fill out and bring with them, a volunteer waiver. The waiver is valid for one year.
