the restore is a community donation center that accepts donations of new and used building materials, appliances, furniture and other home decor items and sells them at deeply discounted prices. By accepting these items, the restore provides an opportunity for the community to donate, recycle and repurpose items. Much like our mission of eradicating the cycle of poverty housing, we want to break the cycle of environmental degradation by limiting waste and reducing the volume of material going to landfills. Lastly, restore provides an opportunity for increased volunteerism and workforce development.
