Habitat
ReStore
Used
and New Building Materials |
|
|
The Habitat ReStore is a unique
building materials retail outlet that enables you to buy the supplies you
need for those home renovation, remodeling and decorating chores at a fraction of the cost.
We collect used, excess and
overstocked building materials that are still useful and sell them to you at
exceptionally low prices. All profits go directly to the Greater Fox Cities Area
Habitat for Humanity. You'll be saving significant money, getting
excellent materials and supplies while supporting affordable housing for
lower income families.
