Habitat for Humanity ReStore

Established in 1992, this outlet deals in previously-used materials and has been the model for more than 250 other Habitat for Humanity-sponsored stores. Good Samaritans, often in the midst of demolishing or remodeling, drop off extra tile, old bathtubs, leftover paint, and the like for others to purchase at reduced prices. Not only does such consideration prevent perfectly useful stuff from entering the landfill, but it also benefits a worthwhile cause.
