Habitat for Humanity Portland Region’s Online ReStore was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic as a creative way to stay connected with our community when in-person shopping was limited. What began as a simple solution to help customers continue finding quality furniture from the comfort of home quickly grew into something much bigger. Today, our Online ReStore has evolved into a robust web store featuring a wide variety of items.
In addition to furniture and home goods, shoppers can browse collectibles, clothing, vintage pieces, and rare finds that don’t always make it to the sales floor. And with our goal to make shopping easy and convenient, we now offer convenient local delivery, as well as nationwide shipping through our eBay store
