Finishing up a home project and have some lumber left over? How about a sink, stove, door or window in good condition after you made some replacements? Any duplicate tools? LaPorte County Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore is looking for all that and much more.
As spring arrives and store traffic grows, so does the need for new, clean and gently used donations to the ReStore, located at the corner of 10th and Huron in Michigan City. Think twice before adding to a landfill; instead, bring reusable donations to the ReStore Thursdays through Saturdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The ReStore offers new and gently used building materials, home goods, furnishings, hardware and more to the public. Proceeds support Habitat’s mission of providing low-cost, affordable housing in our community.
Items typically featured in the ReStore include:
– Home goods
– Major appliances in working condition
– Furniture
– Countertops and cabinets
– Plumbing fixtures and components
– Electrical fixtures and lighting
– Kitchen and bathroom fixtures
– Hand and power tools
– Fencing and decking material
– Doors and windows
– Lumber, drywall, masonry and sheeting
