Treasure Valley Habitat runs a ReStore that sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, and building materials at a fraction of retail, with proceeds funding the mission. It accepts donated goods from the community.
Donating money, shopping or donating at the ReStore, and joining a build are the main ways to help.
Volunteers help build homes and support the ReStore, and you can sign up through the affiliate's site. The organization has served Idaho families since 1990 as one of more than 2,000 Habitat affiliates.
