Looking for creative ways to get ready for the warm weather that is coming our way? This edition of the Restore Recap has plenty of ideas, including a demonstration by Jan Hagerman of building a firepit, and the winners of our latest ReStore DIY contest. Additionally, there's a wonderful story about a ReStore volunteer named Hope. Read on for all things ReStore!
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!
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.

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.
In this video, Jan Hagerman with Twin Cities Habitat’s Restore demonstrates how to create your own fire pit using recycled materials that you probably wouldn’t have guessed.
Have items to donate? If you're working on spring cleaning and organizing, you may have items you no longer want or need. Donating to ReStore is easy! You can drop off your donation or schedule a pickup.
Your gift unlocks bright futures! Donate now to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership in the Twin Cities.
