Northwest Indiana Habitat for Humanity was formed in July 1986.  By the end of 2005, there will be 43 Habitat homes located in Lake County.  Building on donated land, with donated funds and constructed with volunteer labor the local affiliate’s mission is to provide affordable housing opportunities to those in need.  With plans to build its first home in Lake Station in 2006 and begin a 3-year build project resulting in 20 homes on Adams Street in the Midtown area of Gary, the affiliate will celebrate its 20^th anniversary and completion of 50 Habitat for Humanity homes. 

The ReStore opened in March 2005 at 6114 W. Ridge Road in Gary and will help to make the above and future building projects possible.  There are currently 60 Habitat ReStores throughout the United States.  A Habitat ReStore is a retail outlet recycling overstocked, discontinued, new and used building materials, appliances and gently used home furnishings donated by manufacturers, store contractors and individuals.  These donated items are sold at a fraction of normal prices to the public.  All revenue from sales goes to the local affiliate in support of its building program.

Property managers and real estate brokers buying and selling “fixer-uppers”, do-it-yourselfers making home improvements and small contractors doing rehab work are among those who can benefit from the ReStore.  Prices are low, there is a large selection, the products are immediately available and there is a constant turnover of items.  The ReStore is a source for individuals remodeling their homes to donate items they are replacing.  Homebuilders have a resource to donate perfectly good building materials rather than disposing in local landfills and be environmentally responsible.  Retailers having discontinued items or returns can donate to the ReStore and assist a local charity.

Items can be dropped off at the ReStore during business hours or arrangements can be made for a pick-up by ReStore Supervisor, Deanna Sell.  For more information about the ReStore, call (219) 923-7265.
