Habitat For Humanity of Omaha

Simple, decent shelter is a basic human need. Omaha's two Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations are discount retail outlets that address the issue of poverty housing in two ways:

• by providing an affordable way for community members to purchase building materials and home fixtures for maintaining and fixing up their homes, and
• by using 100 percent of net proceeds to help fund Habitat for Humanity of Omaha.

Omaha's first Habitat ReStore, located at 1003 S 24 ST, opened its doors in 2000 and has been selling building materials and home fixtures at prices 50 to 70 percent lower than their retail cost ever since. In August 2012 Omaha's second Habitat ReStore opened at 10930 Emmet Street. Both locations are open to the public and are proud to offer affordable and eco-friendly ways for those living in and around the Omaha area to purchase quality new and used home maintenance and building supplies.

Along with providing this valuable service to the community, Omaha's Habitat ReStore outlets have diverted a substantial number of usable items from local landfills. In 2009 more than 1,000 tons of materials were diverted from the landfill and given a second life through Habitat ReStore.
