Have you heard of a Habitat for Humanity ReStore? Habitat ReStores are independently owned reuse stores operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations that accept donations and sell home improvement items to the public at a fraction of the retail price. We are currently working hard to build inventory, fundraise and secure a space to open a ReStore here in Dubuque which will help support our mission of providing affordable homeownership opportunities in Dubuque and Jackson Counties. In the meantime, we are hosting a series of Pop-Up Resales to help support the ReStore effort and benefit our mission of building strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter right here in our communities—a good deal for you, your community and the environment! Whether you are doing a home renovation or you are a contractor looking for a good deal, our sale will have something for everyone! Shopping by appointment is available for those who are not comfortable coming during regular shopping hours. Call 563-663-4046 or email rkdaack@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
