Kansas City Habitat ReStore was founded in June 2000.  We accept donations of new and used building materials from individuals, contractors and retailers.  The materials are then made available to the public at a deeply discounted price.

ReStore operates on a Triple Bottom Line philosophy: "People, Planet and Profit."  People seeking building supplies can find what they need at ReStore.  ReStore seeks to be a good steward of natural resources and energy provided by Planet Earth.  Thousands of tons of useable building materials are diverted from landfills each year by our ReStore.  Finally, ReStore profits are transferred to our Habitat for Humanity Kansas City affiliate to further its mission.  Through this Triple Bottom Line philosophy, the Kansas City Habitat ReStore has experienced phenomenal success and serves as a model of sustainability to the surrounding Kansas City metropolitan area.

ReStore also undertakes several environmental initiatives such as creating a rain garden; utilizing used motor oil to heat our warehouse; recycling materials, like scrap metal and unpainted wood; and using fuel additives in our truck fleet to increase fuel mileage and reduce emissions.

ReStore in Kansas City represents a collaborative effort that includes local government, the private sector, non-profit organizations, the faith-based community,  environmental organizations and other diverse groups with the purpose of establishing a building supplies resource for the Kansas City community.
