Rejuvenating the Restore

Over the holidays, I had the chance to help “Rejuvenate the ReStore” by replacing the old broad-loom carpet with modern carpet tiles. After a couple of decades, the flooring was worn and deteriorating, so it was time for a refresh. With the help of enthusiastic volunteers and generous in-kind donations from local businesses, we transformed the furniture sales floor into a brighter, more welcoming space for customers.

This update marks the third phase of a larger master plan that has also included a new checkout station and a warehouse reorganization. Every improvement helps the ReStore better serve the community and support Habitat for Humanity’s mission to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

Shopping at the ReStore also supports sustainability by keeping usable home improvement items and furniture out of landfills and giving them a second life.

Stop by the Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 350 6th Avenue SE in Cedar Rapids for great deals on hundreds of items and plenty of furniture options!
