Habitat for Humanity of Southern Utah just recently opened their new “ReStore” at 270 E 1478 South (off Riverside Dr). Habitat ReStores, according to Habitat for Humanity’s website, “are retail outlets where quality used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses within the community”.
The materials that are sold at the ReStores are generally donated by local building supply businesses, and individuals such as contractors, sub-contractors, demolition crews, and homeowners who are remodeling their homes. The ReStores not only benefit the Habitat organization by helping fund the construction of Habitat homes, but they offer drastic savings of building supplies to the community at large. Plus, these stores help the environment by recycling usable materials into constructive use.
If you are undergoing a remodel project and are wondering what to do with your old cabinets, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, appliances, etc., please consider donating them to the Habitat ReStore. They can sell them to someone who can use them, which helps them fund the construction of Habitat homes in our community, and you get a tax write-off. It is a win-win for all concerned.
For more information about Habitat for Humanity or to donate to the ReStore, call 674-7669. For really great deals on building materials, be sure to visit their new store soon
