What’s the
ReStore?
Habitat ReStores are
retail outlets where quality used and surplus building materials are sold at a
fraction of normal prices. Proceeds
from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses
within the community.
Donate.
The
ReStore accepts donations from anyone and everyone! Individuals, builders,
contractors or remodelers, can all benefit by donating new and gently used
building materials to the ReStore rather than filling dumpsters and adding to
our landfills. And your donation is tax deductable! We accept items like:
cabinets, tools, appliances, doors, windows, lumber, sinks, electrical and
plumbing supplies…
Shop.
Get
a good deal… help the environment…and support a great cause! Our new and
gently used building supplies are 50% - 75% off retail prices! Items for sale
include: vanities, flooring, doors, windows, tools, light fixtures…
Volunteer.
The
ReStore provides an opportunity for those who may not wish to be on the
construction site to volunteer with Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity. ReStore
staff pick up donations, assist customers during store hours, prepare and price
inventory, complete administrative tasks and much more!
Here
are some of our satisfied customers!!

Meet the new
ReStore Manager
Dan
Bement
Background: Dan Bement started at the
Habitat ReStore in July of 2009. He has been married to Kathy for 36
years. He has a daughter and son-in-law, Stacey and Kevin Weniger, and two
grandchildren. His youngest daughter, Amanda, died in 2004 at age 20; his
son was stillborn in 1982.
Why the ReStore? Habitat volunteers are
dedicated to helping people to help themselves. We are not giving a
handout, we’re offering a hand up. And what a great way to keep items out
of landfill and re-circulate while raising money to increase affordable
housing opportunities in Rockford.
What’s different since you took the helm? We
have expanded into the retail space just east of us. This allows us to
take donations of hard furniture such as entertainment centers, tables,
chairs, coffee tables, dressers, etc.
What are the ReStore Needs? Hmmm …
donations of building materials and lots and lots of customers! But we
can always use more volunteers. Come in and see me. We have fun while
making a difference in our world. No experience necessary.
What do you do when you aren’t working? My
hobby is shooting and gun collecting. As a side note, I’m a Republican, I
ride a bicycle, and I’m a Packers fan. My favorite place in the entire
world is wherever my grandkids, my wife, my daughter and son-in-law are.
My second favorite is among friends.
Who motivates you? I have been inspired by my
father who took care of my cancer-stricken mother to the end. But I
already held him in high regard because of the life he lived and taught me
to live, and the sacrifices he made for his family, for me. He showed me
what it is to be a man. |
