About ReStore

Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical housing ministry of people working together to eliminate poverty housing. Many families living in substandard housing are caught in a cycle of poverty. Some have given up the struggle and with it, the hope of success. But many continue to work in hope of breaking out of this vicious circle. Habitat for Humanity is a project that builds hope by working in partnership with people to help themselves.

The Summit County Habitat ReStore opened its doors on November 10, 2007, and is one of over 20 ReStores in Ohio and more than 700 in the US and Canada. Each ReStore is independently run by the Habitat Affiliate office serving that community.
