Located at a NEW  location 5501 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd. (next to Bob Evan's in the old Havertys building) in Durham, the ReStore is a non-profit affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. It accepts donations of furniture, house wares, and some appliances, and then sells these items and donates the proceeds to Habitat of Durham and Habitat of Orange County. The Habitat affiliates use the money to buy materials to build new Habitat homes.
