the store that builds homes
What is a Habitat ReStore?
Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region operates three ReStores: Peterborough North, Lindsay, and Lakefield. These non-profit stores sell new and gently used building materials, furniture, and home décor.
🛠 What You’ll Find:
- Home décor, windows, doors, paint, furniture, hardware, lumber, tools, lighting, and appliances
- Unique inventory that changes daily with new donations from the local community and local businesses
♻ Why Shop, Donate, or Volunteer?
- Supports affordable homeownership in your community
- Helps the environment by diverting items from landfills (331,730 items in 2023!)
- Every purchase makes a difference
Please bring your donation to your closest ReStore during our opening hours. When you donate to the Habitat ReStore, you will receive a voucher for 25% off your next ReStore purchase! Please note that all donations must be in good condition (free of stains, rips, tears, etc.) and from a smoke-free home. Please scroll down to the bottom of this page for more information on which items the Habitat ReStore gladly accepts and which items we’re unable to accept.
If you are unable to bring your donated items to the ReStore, we can arrange a pick-up at your business, home, or office for FREE. We will also pick up family estates. To request a pick-up, you can contact our Procurement Department by calling 705-652-0552 or by emailing donate@habitatpkr.ca with photos of the items you wish to donate with your name and address.
Planning a renovation? Looking to get rid of large or built-in items? Our professional ReStore Kitchen & Home Deconstruction Team can come to your home and carefully and efficiently dismantle major household items such as kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, bathroom fixtures, and more. All at NO COST to you. Please contact our Procurement Department by calling 705-652-0552 or by emailing donate@habitatpkr.ca to learn more.
