ReStore FAQ
What is a ReStore?
ReStore is a resale business that sells new and used building materials and home improvement items to the general public.

The ReStore supports the work of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia by providing a space where members of the community can donate materials that are re-sold and all proceeds benefit Habitat.
