Description
Habitat's two ReStore locations in Davidson County and Dickson County are an important social enterprise, generating significant earned income for the agency. Habitat ReStores sell used and new home and office furnishings and building supplies to the public at discounted prices. ReStores accept donated quality merchandise from the public, and generous corporate partners regularly make significant donations of new or gently used merchandise. As a component of the retail operation, Habitat's DeConstruct service is a major source of merchandise for ReStores. Through DeConstruct, Habitat removes re-sellable items from homes in the process of being remodeled, redecorated, or demolished. Since 2005, net ReStore revenue has funded construction of homes for 60 families, and conducted more than 1,150 total deconstruction projects.
