Working in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Dane County, the Habitat ReStore sells donated building materials to the general public for up to 75% off retail price. The Habitat ReStore is located on Madison’s Eastside at 208 Cottage Grove Road and Madison’s Westside at 5906 Odana Road.
Sales from the Habitat ReStore provide enough income to build two Habitat for Humanity homes in Dane County a year. In 2012, Habitat ReStore sales will help build the homes with the Karen Walters and Ruben Banuelos and Marie Perez families.
Our goals:
* Support Habitat for Humanity of Dane County’s home building program
* Keep valuable materials out of local area landfills
* Provide the community with a source of low cost building materials
* Provide an opportunity to volunteer at the Habitat ReStore
How the ReStore Works:
The Habitat ReStore accepts donations of new and saleable, used building materials such as cabinets, lighting and plumbing fixtures, doors, lumber, flooring, and windows. Most of these donations will be sold to the public at up to 75% off the retail price. There are more than 500 Habitat ReStores in the U.S and Canada.
The Habitat ReStore:
- Makes home improvements more affordable.
- Helps Habitat build more homes. In an average year, the Habitat ReStore will allow Habitat to build two additional homes in Dane County.
- Prevents usable building materials from going to a landfill. The Habitat ReStore keeps close to 1,000 tons of building materials out of Dane County’s landfills annually.
