Help ReStore help you.

One of the best things about Habitat for Humanity Lakeside is our ReStore, which features a wide selection of new and lightly used building supplies, home furnishings, decorative items, and outdoor essentials and affordable prices. The Restore is also an integral part of our mission. Its sales support our home-building and home-repair projects, all of which make Sheboygan County a better place to live.

Restore depends on the kindness of the community for so many reasons, including fulfilling our needs for volunteers and donations. We think it’s a two-way street: You can help ReStore and ReStore can help you. Here’s how.

Save money.
Shopping at ReStore helps you find great deals on items you might not have even realized you needed. No matter what you are looking, try ReStore first. We offer hundreds of different products, ranging from furniture and plumbing fixtures to HVAC necessities, tools (screwdrivers are $1 each) and kitchen cabinets. We get new donations every week, making ReStore a fun and unique place to shop. If you see something unique, grab it before someone else does. Chances are good you won’t see it anywhere else.

Declutter your home.
Whether you're up to your head in clutter or simply just need to offload some unwanted items, donate to ReStore, then enjoy the freshly open space of your home. We accept everything (scrap metal and aluminum cans included) and, beginning July 1, you can schedule a pickup with our online application. It has never been easier to clean your house and get rid of all your annoying clutter.
​
Help the planet.
You’ve bought online before. Most new items are overly packaged, and most of the time that packaging ends up in a landfill. Buying a donated, lightly used item from ReStore gives a used item new life and keeps it from ending up in the dump. Your purchase also reduces the amount of packaging destined for the dump. And donating scrap metal and aluminum cans keeps them out of landfills and increases their chances of being recycled. It's a win-win-win.

Use your time wisely.
Another way to help us is by volunteering. We constantly need volunteers for all sorts of tasks. We promise you that your time with us will be fun, rewarding, and much appreciated. Volunteering at ReStore is a great way to get involved with the Sheboygan community and feel like you’re part of something.

Help us help Sheboygan County.
ReStore proceeds support our home builds, and we’re on track to build three this coming year. They support our Home Repair program and our new Aging in Place program. For families, a solid foundation starts with a home. For older adults, a secure future starts with a safe home. Together, we build this foundation and security for our fellow citizens.
