We are continuing to monitor the current health crisis and are following the direction of our local, state, and federal public health officials.
The ReStore remains closed until May 1, under Gov. Pritzker’s stay-at-home directive. We hope to serve you all again as soon as we can.
Purchases at the ReStore make up a large part of our funding source for our affordable housing and construction program, and that’s why we just announced a special promotion for our ReStore customers.
Beginning today, all customers can get a free $25 in-store credit just by purchasing a $100 e-gift card from the ReStore. This deal helps fuel our charitable work while providing you with extra spending cash to use at the ReStore as soon as we reopen!
We are still working on e-commerce options so that we can continue to serve our community through the pandemic. We are hoping to be able to ship items directly to customers shortly, so please continue to check this page and our Facebook page for the most recent updates.
The work of increasing access to safe, affordable homes is important and must continue despite the crisis that our country and community face. We are here for our community, just as we have been for the past 30+ years. If you want to make a tax-deductible gift to keep our work going, please click here to donate.
Thank you for your continued support and we hope you are all staying safe and healthy.
