40 HOMES
FUNDED BY
THE RESTORE!

ABOUT THE RESTORE

The Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West ReStore accepts donations of new and gently used appliances, furniture, clothing, home improvement items and more donated to us by local individuals and businesses. The ReStore sells those items to the public at prices well below retail. The proceeds are then used to build Habitat homes with low-income families in our community.  The ReStore is able to fund these homes with the help of our wonderful donors, customers and volunteers.  We invite and encourage you to donate, shop and volunteer with us to help make a difference in West St. Tammany Parish! 

Our 2023 ReStore Homebuyer is Emma Busby

Since its founding in 1988, the ReStore has funded the construction of 40 homes. We are proud to announce that this year's ReStore Homebuyer is Emma Busby!
