ReStore Montco is a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, building materials and supplies to the public at a fraction of the retail price. All proceeds support Habitat for Humanity programs in Montgomery County including home construction, repair and family services.
Since opening in 2010, ReStore Montco has raised over $300,000 for HFHMC and diverted over 400 tons of reusable materials from landfills while helping the community save on home repairs and remodeling. HFHMC has been serving Montgomery County communities since 1989. Since then, it has built or renovated 57 homes that house 201 people, including 133 children, in Norristown, Pottstown, Upper Dublin Township and Hatfield Borough. Over the next three years, Habitat is preparing to directly impact 92 families. By shopping, donating and volunteering at ReStore Montco, you can help HFHMC to continue on its mission to eliminate substandard housing.
While Montgomery County enjoys a high quality of life, it is becoming increasingly difficult for hard-
working, low-income families to find safe, decent, affordable housing, as well as nutritious and affordable food. In 2012, 41 percent of renters spent more than 30 percent of their gross income on housing. Eleven percent of adults and 14 percent of children are food insecure. This means that at times they lack access to enough food for an active, healthy life.
By participating in the Fill the Tub With Grub Challenge at ReStore Montco, you can help end eliminate substandard housing and hunger in Montgomery County, PA. For more information, please visit www.restoremontco.org or call 610-631-3149.
