Home Improvement Store

The Home Improvement Store recycles overstocked, discontinued, new and used building materials, furniture and home decor donated by manufacturers, stores, contractors and individuals. These donated items are used in two ways: to build simple, decent homes for low-income families and to be resold to the general public to finance Habitat for Humanity building projects.   

The Home Improvement Store is growing and so is our need for volunteers! Volunteers are needed to help run registers, unload trucks, greet and help customers and prepare donated items for display. This is a great opportunity for bargain shoppers!
