Our Mission
The Riverside Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a non-profit, retail outlet committed to the success of the home building mission of Habitat for Humanity, Riverside by providing ongoing financial support through the sale of donated new and reusable home improvement products.
Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, ReStore
Reuse
"Reusing items-by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups ... also reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again."
--US Environmcntal Protcction Agcncy
Reduce
"Waste prevention, or "source reduction" consuming and throwing away less. Source reduction actually prevents the generation of waste in the first place, so it is the most preferred method of waste management and goes a long way toward protecting the environment."
--US Environmcntal Protcction Agcncy
Recycle
"Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources."
--US Environmcntal Protcction Agcncy
ReStore
As a citizen of this planet, we all need to do our part in practicing the "4-Rs" -Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, ReStore.
The ReStore is a resource to help you do just that. We welcome donations of new and gently used home improvement products, home furnishings and appliances that we sell to the public at bargain prices to support the building of affordable homes for qualified low income families.
