back to School starts at ReStore.

By Sam Parnitzke, Habitat Lakeside marketing intern
Returning to college or heading there for the first time can be exciting, and expensive. The average college student spends $2,500 to get settled into their dorm room or apartment. Habitat for Humanity Lakeside is here to make settling in a little more affordable, and a lot more fun.

From Aug. 13 to Aug. 16, Habitat for Humanity Lakeside’s ReStore is offering 15 percent off furniture and kitchen items. Bring your college student to the store to select a desk, shelving, file cabinet, desk chair, dresser, storage chest and other first-apartment must-haves. We even have contemporary shades of new paint (and paintbrushes and rollers) in case that apartment needs a little fixing up.

Why ReStore and not your local big box? Let us count the ways. First, many of our gently used, donated items are vintage or antique; they’re a great, affordable way to create a unique and personalized living space. Second, our items don’t come packaged in the reams of paper and plastic that smother online purchases. No packaging, nothing to end up in the landfill. Third, your ReStore purchases support Habitat Lakeside’s home-building and home-repair programs, all of which help make Sheboygan County a more vibrant community.
