The Story Behind ReStore OC

Our Mission: Building More Than Better Spaces

A home is more than four walls. It is a place to feel secure, raise a family, build memories, and plan for the future. At ReStore OC, the things you buy and donate can help make that kind of stability more attainable for families across Orange County.

Habitat OC’s Mission

Affordable homeownership. Community. Hope.

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County’s mission is to change lives by bringing people together to create affordable homeownership, community, and hope. Its vision is a world where everyone has a safe and affordable place to call home.

That mission responds to a real challenge: the cost of housing can make it difficult for local working families to find a home they can afford. Habitat OC works to expand access to affordable homeownership and also supports efforts to improve housing conditions.

A safe, affordable home can create the foundation for greater stability, opportunity, and a stronger community.

How ReStore Fits In

A simple idea with a wider impact

ReStore OC is a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center operated in support of Habitat for Humanity of Orange County. It sells quality new and gently used furniture, appliances, décor, flooring, and building materials to the public at discounted prices.

The connection is straightforward: the proceeds from ReStore help fund Habitat OC’s affordable-home work. That means ReStore is not simply a place to find a good deal. It is one of the ways shoppers, donors, and volunteers can take part in the organization’s wider mission.

For shoppers

Find useful, distinctive items for your home at a lower price—and know that your purchase supports Habitat OC’s work toward affordable homeownership.

For donors

Give eligible furniture, appliances, and building materials another use. Items that can be resold help generate revenue for Habitat OC’s mission.

What ReStore Does

Shop. Donate. Volunteer. Make a difference.

01 / SHOP

Make a space your own

Explore changing inventory across furniture, lighting, appliances, flooring, tile, décor, and building supplies. Online purchases are available for pickup at ReStore OC locations.

02 / DONATE

Keep good items in use

Donations help stock the stores and can reduce the amount of reusable material sent to landfills. Check ReStore OC’s donation guidelines before arranging a drop-off or pickup.

03 / VOLUNTEER

Give time and energy

Volunteers help create a welcoming store experience and support daily operations. Their contributions help keep operating costs down so more revenue can support Habitat OC’s mission.

Community Impact

The value reaches beyond the checkout

Affordable homeownership can offer families more than a place to live. A stable home can help people put down roots, plan for the future, and build greater security over time. Habitat OC’s work brings together families, volunteers, donors, and community partners around that shared goal.

ReStore contributes to this effort in several connected ways:

Supporting affordable homes

Store proceeds help fund Habitat OC’s work to make homeownership more affordable for Orange County families.

Making reuse practical

Reselling usable home goods and building materials gives shoppers more affordable options and keeps more items in circulation.

Inviting everyone to participate

People can contribute through everyday shopping, donating items, or volunteering—different ways to support the same community goal.

Building a stronger community

When local people and organizations work together toward safe, affordable housing, the benefits can extend beyond individual households.
