Providing Purpose to Your Purchase

Alya Sproehlich and her young daughter recently moved into a new home and have been active customers at ReStore Franklin as they furnish their new space.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, building materials, appliances, and home accessories to the public at 50%-75% below retail. 

“The money I’m saving on expensive furniture is money I can spend on food, clothes and other things for my family,” she said.

Through the sale of these items, Habitat ReStores raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to bring affordable homeownership to local families. 

“I like that it’s helping other people get their own home, and get out of renting,” Sproehlich said. “And I like that it’s keeping stuff out of landfills.”

As a ReStore regular, Sproehlich says shopping there provides purpose to her purchases.
