ReStore Home Improvement Center
Springfield, MA
www.restoreonline.org

The ReStore's mission is to:  

Reuse valuable materials  
Make home improvement affordable for more people  
Create local jobs and provide job training

The ReStore received grant funding to help cover costs during the first few years of operations, but is now self-sustaining through the income created by sales.

The ReStore works with many partners in the community. They accept donations of quality but unwanted home improvement materials and sell them to the public at low prices in a convenient retail setting. 

The ReStore's inventory includes used and salvaged materials and surplus stock from the building industry. Items are accepted from homeowners, contractors, manufacturers, retailers and municipal collection centers.

 

"Dianne Doherty has been great to work with. I have always appreciated that she recognized, more than a decade ago, the power and potential of our mission, and the importance of recycling construction materials to benefit the environment and to make home improvement more affordable."                                        ~ John Majercak
