ReStore in Fresno,California is a non-profit retail outlet owned and operated by Habitat for Humanity Fresno County. We offer the local community a unique retailing experience with an ever-changing inventory of new and gently used building materials, sold at discount prices.

The proceeds from ReStore fund the construction of new Habitat homes, fulfilling our mission of providing decent, affordable housing to qualifying families in Fresno County. ReStore is expected to generate enough funds to build three additional Habitat homes each year. In addition, by accepting donated materials from businesses and individuals, ReStore diverts a large amount of reusable materials from local landfills.

So, whether you’re a contractor with a surplus of 2 x 4s, or a budget-conscious, do-it-yourself warrior fixing up your home, stop by ReStore first!

Environmental
Initiative

Habitat’s Environmental Initiative promotes cost-effective, best-practice construction methods to its U.S. affiliates, raising awareness of the environmental impacts of house building. As a result, partner families may enjoy healthier, more energy-efficient and durable housing at the lowest possible cost. Over time the initiative has been integrated into Habitat’s standard education and training activities, so that affiliates are encouraged to be good house builders and good stewards of natural resources.
