New Habitat for Humanity ReStore Opens in Montgomery Township

A new 44,000-square-foot ReStore operated by Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery and Delaware Counties has opened in Montgomery Township at 1200 Welsh Road, inside the Montgomery Commons Shopping Center.

According to a North Penn Now report, the new ReStore location is among the largest Habitat ReStores in the country. It offers furniture, appliances, building materials, clothing, and home goods. All proceeds from sales directly support Habitat's work building and repairing homes for families in Montgomery County and Delaware County, while serving as a regional hub for donations and material reuse.

The new store is also the next step in a project that began last year with the opening of a ReStore donation center in Lansdale Borough. There, residents could begin dropping off items ahead of the launch of the Montgomery Township location. This larger store replaces the former Second Avenue Thrift Store and Half-Off Store spaces at Montgomery Commons.

The expansion is expected to boost processing capacity for donated goods, enhance the shopper and donor experience, and increase funding for Habitat's housing programs.

“The ReStore model is powerful because it's entirely community supported,” Habitat CEO Keith Sterling said in a statement. “Donations from local residents and businesses are purchased by members of the same community, and those proceeds help create jobs, repair homes, and expand affordable homeownership opportunities.”

Habitat ReStores operate as nonprofit thrift stores. They will accept items such as furniture, appliances, building materials, clothing, tools, home decor, and more. Members of the public can drop off donations during regular store hours. Large commercial donations can also be arranged directly through the organization.
