We need to build
more homes.
It’s time to level the playing field. With a little help, families can be empowered to overcome the barriers keeping them from a healthy and financially stable life. The outcomes are long-lasting and life-changing.
Shopping at the ReStore supports our mission to build affordable homes for our community.
Habitat Halton-Mississauga-Dufferin currently operates four ReStore locations. Our Burlington location was ranked #1 in sales in 2017, and our Mississauga location is currently the largest ReStore location in the province.
The success of each ReStore has enabled us to:
- Use 100% of donations to build homes for families
- Divert millions of dollars a year from landfills
You can help reduce
the housing crisis.
Start in your own backyard. You don’t have to go far to help a family in need. Getting involved with Habitat for Humanity can help families in your community.
