Both ReStore locations still have reduced hours of Monday-Saturday, 10-4pm and are adhering to our local government and CDC guidelines. Donation pickups have also resumed! Our primary concern is the health and safety of our partner families, volunteers, customers, supporters and staff. Thank you for your patience while we navigate this new normal together. You can also shop the ReStore online at https://restorepgw.square.site!
Since reopening on May 16, 2020, we have been following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Governor Ralph Northam. The Governor’s mandate states any customer with a medical condition is exempt from having to wear a mask. However, Habitat will provide face shields for any customer who has a medical condition which prohibits them from wearing a mask in order to gain entry into the store. |

Below are the guidelines we have in place and follow each day:
Donations may be dropped off Thursday to Saturday, 10-4 p.m. FREE donation pickups can be scheduled by calling 757-932-8976, option 1 or using the pickup form found here.

Construction will continue with limited volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer with us, please visit our volunteer page here.

We are excited to announced the reopening of both ReStore locations. Please read below for more information about this weekend. In a show of appreciation, the ReStore plans to offer a 25% purchase discount for all medical staff and first responders. Customers simply need to show a badge or work I.D. to the cashier at check-out. All other customers will receive a 15% purchase discount during Saturday’s reopening. Shoppers can also now purchase online at https://restorepgw.square.site, plus schedule a curbside pickup of their order.

Please see small changes below. Stay safe and please stay home, where possible.
