Why Shop, Donate, and Volunteer at the Habitat ReStore?

A Story Worth Sharing
Meet Local Habitat Homeowners
Your support helps families, seniors, and individuals move into safe, stable homes!
Kara and Josh, along with their young son Ollie, were struggling to find an affordable home in Peterborough’s rising housing market. Through Habitat for Humanity’s affordable homeownership program, funded in part by local ReStore proceeds, they became homeowners at Leahy’s Lane. Now surrounded by a supportive community of fellow Habitat homeowners, they’re building a future they once thought out of reach.
Your purchases and donations make stories like theirs possible.
