How do ReStores benefit Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia?
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.
All revenue generated from ReStores benefits the mission of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia to build safe, decent and affordable homes for low income families.
Habitat has been working in Northern Virginia since 1990 and since then has built 73 homes. We have just completed a 9 unit condominium in Fairfax, called Maple Ridge, and began a 12 unit condominium in Arlington, Perry Hall, in April of 2010. Read more here.
