OUR RESTORE

Support the store that builds homes and hope.

Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells new and used building supplies and donated home goods ​at discounted prices.

We accept donations from contractors, retailers, and community members. Our store is filled with volunteers and staff receiving and preparing items for sale in the store. They are the friendly faces you see when you check out with your favorite finds.

When you shop, all the proceeds from the ReStore are used to fund Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build homes, communities, and hope in Black Hawk, Butler, Bremer, and Buchanan counties. Shopping at the ReStore also diverts tons of material from the landfill each year!

Donate, Shop, or Volunteer at the Restore and make a difference in our community.
