About The ReStore
What is the ReStore?
The ReStore is the Habitat thrift store which takes in new and used home furnishings and sells them at up to 90% off retail cost. The ReStore offers the community an active venue for reusing/recycling building materials and home furnishings that would otherwise be thrown away. All funds raised support Athens Area Habitat for Humanity in its continuing effort to eliminate poverty housing in Clarke, Oconee, and Oglethorpe counties. In addition to free pickups, all donations to the ReStore are tax deductible.
