Dubuque and Jackson County Habitat for Humanity, will cut the ribbon on the first-ever ReStore location in Dubuque on January 25th. The ReStore offers a sustainable way to improve your home, donate building materials and appliances, and support our mission to build affordable homes in Dubuque and Jackson County.
Volunteers have donated thousands of hours to stock the ReStore with quality items and building materials. The unique finds at the ReStore are donated by individuals, local businesses, designers, and contractors eager to support our efforts to divert usable items from landfills and create sustainable options to improve homes.
Shoppers looking for a great deal are also supporting a great cause. For 32 years, Dubuque and Jackson County Habitat for Humanity volunteers have worked alongside families to create better housing opportunities. Proceeds from ReStore sales will support home building and repair projects for income-eligible households in both counties.
The self-sustaining funding will be a tremendous benefit to our organization, but what makes ReStore special is the community. Habitat for Humanity has a long history of bringing people together to build homes in the community, but not everyone can join us on a job site and construct a house. ReStore creates new opportunities for donors, volunteers, and shoppers from all walks of life to get involved with our mission to build quality, affordable homes.
We invite you to join Dubuque and Jackson County Habitat for Humanity as we celebrate the work of our volunteers, staff, and donors with a Ribbon Cutting on Wednesday, January 25th, at 4:30 pm. The celebration will continue into Saturday, January 28th 9 am, with the Grand Opening Celebration featuring special volunteer and guest discounts, free raffle giveaways, and a unique and meaningful shopping experience. This event will be open to the public at the store location 4949 Chavenelle Rd, Suite 3 in Dubuque.
