Donate to the ReStore

Thanks to generous support from our community, Asheville Habitat boasts one of the highest ranked Habitat ReStores in the country (out of 900+ stores).

This is a testament to the residents of Buncombe County who value local non-profits, re-using materials, and supporting a store where they can find the best deals around! When you donate to Asheville Habitat’s ReStores (now in Asheville and Weaverville), you help generate funding for Habitat programs while keeping usable goods out of the landfill.
