With that in mind, the creators of the Montgomery County Habitat (for Humanity) ReStore are seeking donations of new and used residential building supplies and home furnishings from individuals, contractors, remodelers, retailers and wholesalers. The ReStore, which will be located at 408 Madison St. near the Dollar General and ARC Thrift Store, will hold its Grand Opening on March 1, with business hours Wednesday through Saturday from 9-5.

According to Joe Davidson, manager of the ReStore, some of the materials are available through the store will be used directly in the construction of Habitat for Humanity homes, but most are displayed for the general public to purchase in our ReStore. The profits are used to fund future Habitat homes in Montgomery County .
