Newburgh Habitat ReStore

Overview

What is a ReStore?
A Habitat ReStore is a furniture, lighting and building materials recycling/resale facility that supports the services of its local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. The Newburgh ReStore recycles new, gently used and antique items donated by manufacturers, stores, contractors and individuals. These donations are sold to the public at very low prices or used in the construction of Habitat houses. All proceeds from sales go directly towards Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh’s house construction program.

· The ReStore provides Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh with a sustainable source of income and a sustainable future.
