History

In November 2003, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge opened the Habitat ReStore North on Airline Highway and Plank Road. The ReStore Southeast opened in February 2016 at 10300 Perkins Road (behind the Ethan Allen store) in order to better reach customers and donors in the southeastern part of the city. The Habitat ReStore is a retail outlet where quality, used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from the ReStore help fund the construction of Habitat houses within our community. Materials sold by Habitat ReStore are usually donated from building supply stores, contractors, demolition crews or from individuals. In addition to raising funds, the ReStore help the environment by rechanneling good, usable materials into use. Since its opening, it is estimated that the ReStore has saved more than 2,500 tons of useable building materials from the landfill.
