Looking for creative ways to get ready for the warm weather that is coming our way?

Hope Helps: Supporting ReStore Since 2016

When Hope first started volunteering at ReStore, she wondered if she’d be able to do enough to make a difference. The answer has been a resounding “yes.” To get the full picture, though, we need to go back to the 1950s—because Hope’s motivation for volunteering at ReStore is personal. Learn all about her journey, why she got involved, and what keeps her coming back!

2024 Big Ideas, Small Spaces Contest Winners

In early February, ReStore hosted a booth at the Minneapolis Home + Remodeling Show at U.S. Bank Stadium. This was the second year ReStore was at the show, and staff and volunteers had a blast meeting vendors and attendees! People who visited the booth learned about ReStore and got some candy and free merch. They could also vote on the winners for our 2024 Big Ideas, Small Spaces contest.

ReStore is the Place to Donate and Shop for Appliances

If you're replacing your appliances, have you thought about what to do with your old stove, fridge, and more? Well, staff at our ReStore home improvement outlets would love to help find your old appliance a new home! The best part is that proceeds from your donation support affordable homeownership with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Before you donate, though, take a few minutes to learn what is and what is not accepted at ReStore.
