Florida - Habitat – The ReStore



While Bill works at the build site in Fellsmere, Barbara works in the ReStore in Vero Beach.


The Indian River Habitat for Humanity's ReStore sells pretty much anything: furniture, home improvement items, housewares, books, toys, exercise equipment, linens, and so much more.

Employees and volunteers create a great place to shop and get great deals on used things.

This picture shows some other volunteers. This particular group hales from Tennessee (Nashville), Ohio (Akron), South Carolina, Minnesota, Michigan, and Canada. Most of the volunteers in this picture are “Care-a-vanners.” They stay in their RV behind the store and put in at least 30 hours/week in the ReStore.

There also are employees, future homeowners, and regular volunteers. This store has a great crew! 

This was Barbara’s second year at the ReStore – working both years in linens. 

Here’s the linens section of the back room.

Barbara sorted, folded, priced and displayed all sorts of linens. She was ultra happy when lots of well displayed curtains were purchased on her last day. Woohoo!

Profits from the ReStore go to Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for people in need.
