Evansville’s Habitat ReStore Moves to New Location
Habitat for Humanity ReStore Opens New Evansville Location on Morgan Avenue
If you're a thrift shopper, you probably already know about the incredible deals you can find at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore. I've picked up everything from light bulbs and light switch covers to paint and furniture over the years.
The best part? Every item is donated, so every purchase helps Habitat for Humanity build, rehabilitate, and repair safe, affordable homes for local families. It also keeps perfectly usable items out of area landfills, which is a win for everyone.
The Warrick County ReStore Is Worth the Trip
The ReStore closest to me is the Warrick County ReStore, located at 10622 Telephone Rd, Chandler, IN. It's huge, and it even has an outbuilding packed with treasures.
Of course, one of the best things about thrifting is that no two stores are ever the same.
Now, there's another great option just down the road.
Evansville's Habitat ReStore Opens New Location
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore that was tucked away on Evansville's east side has officially moved into its new home inside the former Leah Matthews building at 5611 E Morgan Ave.
The new location feels bright, clean, and high-end. It's a fun place to browse whether you're looking for furniture, home décor, renovation supplies, or just hoping to stumble across your next great find.
