This is a re-sale store serving both the Habitat for Humanity organizations in Orange and Durham Counties of North Carolina. I have been encouraging homeowners and clients to donate their reusable items (cabinets, fixtures, sinks, toilets, mirrors, lumber, building materials etc.) leftover from handyman, remodel and renovation projects for several years now. Now Habitat has much larger space to serve the community.

The new store is located at 5501 Durham – Chapel Hill Boulevard, Durham, NC 27707
