ReStore: Retail With a Mission
December 5, 2007
ReStore is a 20,000 sq. ft. building materials reuse center located at 860 N. State St.(Rt 31)in Elgin, IL (www.restoreelgin.org) ReStore accepts donated new and gently used goods from retailers, manufacturers, distributors, contractors and homeowners. Building supplies are then sold, at greatly reduced prices, to the general public. The store’s operation generates funds to support Habitat’s house building program in
the Northern Fox Valley area, while reducing the amount of material that would otherwise go to overflowing landfills, which makes ReStore environmentally and economically friendly.
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley opened up ReStore 18 months ago and since that time,we estimate that ReStore has managed to divert almost 425 tons of
materials from landfills. Best regards, Deanna Davies
