About Habitat for Humanity ReStore of Huron Valley

Mission Statement
We are the Habitat for Humanity ReStore of Huron Valley. What we do is we take in furniture, appliances, household items, kitchen cabinets, hardware, tools, and much more from our generous donors around Washtenaw County. We then resell these items back to the public to help raise funds for our home ownership opportunities, furnace test and tune program, critical home repairs, veteran home repairs, and several other programs that help support our community. Last year alone, we raised enough funds to move 6 families into their new homes. So while you won't be building a home at the ReStore, you'll be supporting our small friendly staff with making the ReStore a clean, safe environment for individuals to shop and volunteer at. In doing so, we also help keep materials out of landfills and also help families purchase items from us at a fraction of the cost, compared to buying them from another store.

In a county where owning a home can be expensive, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley makes affordable homeownership achievable for low-income, hard working families. Our program is centered on the idea of a hand-up, not a hand-out , that is to say, giving families the opportunity to work hard to purchase a home with a no profit mortgage. This makes owning a decent, safe, affordable home attainable to families that otherwise could not purchase their own home.
