The Watauga County ReStore Shopping Experience

To shop at Watauga Habitat for Humanity ReStore is to go on an adventure.

Not your ordinary thrift store, proceeds from our ReStore is put to use to help build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter in your community and around the world.

There are many great reasons to shop at the Watauga ReStore. Here’s a very short list:

• You never know what you’re going to find.
  Items are donated from people and companies in your community, the selection varies depending on what has been donated.
• Every trip is different.
  Because of that ever-changing selection, you’ll see different inventory every time you shop. Sometimes you may find something unexpected, so come back often!
• What you see is not always what you end up with.
  Many shop at the ReStore to find items they can upcycle and transform into something new. Check out how to turn skis into a tiki torch, a wooden chair into a planter and glass jugs into lamps.

What kinds of things will you find at our Habitat ReStore?

We sell new and gently used building materials, furniture, appliances and much more. When items are donated to Habitat ReStore, they get a chance at a second life rather than being taken to a landfill.

Depending on what's been donated, you may find items like kitchen cabinets, appliances and lumber from a home restoration. You could find lockers from a university building deconstruction project There may be unique treasures like DIY lamps and art. 

However, the great stuff you find at great prices when you visit Habitat ReStore is only part of the reason shopping here is so great. In addition, you are supporting Habitat for Humanity.

Where does the money from your Habitat ReStore donation go?

Proceeds from the ReStore go to Watauga Habitat for Humanity’s mission to help build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. This work is done both in your community and around the world.
