It's a cross between home depot and a thrift store.
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Lake St. in Kalamazoo is celebrating its sixth anniversary this week.
In that time it has done good for the community in more ways than one.
The main mission of Habitat for Humanity is building affordable homes.
But the ReStore is the business of providing affordable home improvement.
Gloria Hatfield comes to the Restore all the time for low cost home improvement products.
"Just about everything I've needed I've been able to find here," she said. "Sometimes I come and don't find it, but I come back and there it is."
And she has bought a ton of stuff there.
"Bathroom tile, kitchen sink, faucet, microwave, carpeting, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, doors, wash and dryer, paint."
ReStore manager Joe Madden says almost everything is donated by homeowners, businesses, contractors.
"It's a home improvement store, but it's almost entirely used or barely used items," said Madden. "We do have some new items."
Madden used to work at Menard's.
He says the feeling he gets here is very different.
"There's a good feeling when it comes in, because people are helping the environment and helping themselves. We're also helping people when they purchase the items. Instead of purchasing one item, they can get a couple items to get their project done."
The store's profits help fund Habitat for Humanity.
Since it opened in October 2005, Habitat says the ReStore has fully funded two or three homes.
And... That's not all.
"We've accepted and sold over two million pounds of items that would have otherwise been sent to a landfill in the area," Madden said.
Hatfield says that, the funding for homes, the prices, it's all more than enough reason to keep coming back.
"It just blesses my heart to know that by my buying through here that someone else, who is less fortunate than I am is able to get a new home," she said. "Everybody wins here. Everybody benefits."
There are more than 700 ReStore locations nationwide - including more than 40 in Michigan.
