New Habitat for Humanity Restore shop comes to Philadelphia

Habitat’s ReStore resale outlet sells reusable and surplus building materials to the public at a fraction of the retail price. ReStore offers great deals on quality used furniture, appliances, building supplies, and more. The profits go towards building affordable housing in Philadelphia.

ReStore also accepts building supplies and other household items for donation. Buckminster Green recently donated a set of relatively new cabinets from a kitchen renovation project we are doing in Chestnut Hill. So rather than ending up in a landfill, the cabinets will have a new life in another home and in the process raise funds for a worthy cause that supports home-ownership for low-income families.

The new ReStore is located in Kensington at 2930 Jasper Street, Philadelphia, PA 19134. For more information visit their website at www.habitatphiladelphia.org/habitat-philadelphia-restore
