ReStore FAQs
Lawrence County Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 502 L St. is retail outlet of home improvement and construction material dedicated to providing discounted items for sale to the public to help build homes for families in our community in need of affordable, decent housing. We do not have a master inventory list as inventory changes frequently. Some items are featured on the Shop ReStore page.
What does ReStore sell?
ReStore sells both new and gently used remodeling and home improvement materials that have been donated to Habitat for Humanity. Inventory includes lighting, doors, windows, appliances, furniture, kitchen and bath cabinets, sinks, toilets, and more. As we sell items and receive donations, our inventory changes. The best thing you can do is stop by and see for yourself all that we offer. You may get an idea of the types of items we carry by looking at the list of Donations that we accept. We have "a little bit of everything—including the kitchen sink."
