Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores: New Kensington and North Huntingdon
Habitat for Humanity affiliates seek to eliminate poverty housing as it uses volunteer, community labor in partnership with selected families to build decent, affordable housing. One way HFH raises funds to carry out its mission is through its chain of ReStores.
Habitat ReStores sell overstocked, discontinued, new and used building materials and other household items donated by manufacturers, stores, contractors and individuals. ReStores also accept donations of other good-quality household items, except clothing. They reserve the right to refuse donations if they are not salvageable.
The Central Westmoreland HFH ReStore is located at 8775 Norwin Avenue in North Huntingdon, in the Norwin Hills Shopping Center, behind Rite-Aid and across from Goodwill. ReStore hours are Saturdays from 9am to 3pm. Call 724-523-0308 for more information, or visit their website.
The Allegheny Valley HFH ReStore is located at 1170 Industrial Boulevard in New Kensington, just off the 9th Street Bridge. Hours of operation are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10am to 4pm, and Saturdays from 9am to 3pm. For more information, call 724-337-8347, or visit their website.
