You helped create, preserve, and promote homeownership

Without the support of volunteers, donors, and ReStore shoppers, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity wouldn’t be able to do the important work of bringing people together to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership and advance racial equity in housing. Thank you for all that you do! Take a moment to watch this video and reflect on the year with Habitat.

ReStore can accept many of your leftover construction and renovation supplies, and even provides a free pickup service to make your donation as easy as pie.
