Specialties
The ReStores sell both new and gently used remodel and home improvement materials that have been donated to Habitat for Humanity. Inventory includes paint supplies, lighting, tile, doors, windows, appliances, furniture, kitchen and bath cabinets, sinks, toilets and more. Since we receive new donations every day, there is never a set inventory — It’s a whole new store with each donation!
History
Established in 2008.
The concept of the ReStores originally developed at the Habitat for Humanity affiliate level on the East Coast and was gradually picked up by affiliates all over the country.
When the housing crisis hit Southwest Riverside County, Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley needed to create new fundraising revenue streams to support all of the community programs and building we had created.
When we first opened our Temecula location, we only had enough stock to fill a third of our building. But we continued to seek donations and generate partnerships with retailers to build up our stock. We opened our Lake Elsinore 15 months after we opened Temecula to give our shoppers more access to goods they need.
The success of the ReStore and what it does for our organization can be attributed to the fact that it is consistent with our mission of improving living conditions for those in our community. Our ReStores have helped divert more than 2,600 tons of trash from local landfills.
