Habitat for Humanity of Omaha ReStore

 ReStore Entrance 1003 S 24 ST

Simple, decent shelter is a basic human need. Habitat for Humanity of Omaha's ReStore, a discount retail outlet, addresses the issue of poverty housing in two ways:

  • by providing an affordable way for community members to purchase building materials and home fixtures for maintaining and fixing up their homes, and
  • by using 100 percent of net proceeds to help fund Habitat for Humanity of Omaha.

The Habitat Omaha ReStore, located at 1003 S 24 ST, opened its doors in 2000 and has been selling building materials and home fixtures at prices 50 to 70 percent lower than their retail cost ever since. The ReStore is open to the public and is proud to offer an affordable and eco-friendly way for those living in and around the Omaha area to purchase quality new and used home maintenance and building supplies.

Along with providing this valuable service to the community, the Habitat Omaha ReStore has diverted a substantial number of usable items from local landfills. In 2009 more than 1,000 tons of materials were diverted from the landfill and given a second life through the Habitat Omaha ReStore.

The ReStore carries everything from doors, cabinets and lighting fixtures to appliances, windows, flooring and much more. Donations come in daily, making each visit a slightly different experience.

Volunteers, donors and customers are essential to the ReStore's success. Without the help of these groups of people the Omaha ReStore would not be able to net fund three-and-a-half Habitat homes in Omaha this year.
