Why You Should Do Your Dorm Shopping at a Habitat ReStore

It is the time of year where college students are starting to look for items to purchase for their dorm room. Did you know that Habitat for Humanity ReStores are a great place to start when it comes to dorm and apartment shopping? You can find plenty of dorm essentials at ReStores like small desks or chairs, storage containers, lamps, lighting, kitchenware, mirrors, decorations, and many more.  

Habitat ReStores are perfect for college students and young adults who are on a budget. They have plenty of new and barely used items that are at a discounted price to help people get on their feet. These prices are significantly different from retail prices! And after moving out, college students can donate their items back to ReStores. This can help a new generation of incoming students find things they can use for their future dorm room. It's no big commitment when you aren't spending a lot in the first place.

Shopping at the ReStore for your dorm needs can be beneficial for students coming to the Cincinnati area. All of the big furniture and appliances can be bought after students move to Cincinnati, which can make the moving process much easier.  No need to lug big items from your hometown to your college town. And you can save on transportation costs!

When purchasing the ReStore, it can have a great impact on the environment. For example, giving appliances, decorations and furniture a new life can reduce the waste that goes into the landfills, which also causes less pollution. Score! Not only does buying items for your dorm and donating to ReStores help the environment, but it also supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission. Every purchase made at a ReStore directly helps your neighbors, from building new homes to repairing current ones.

Don't forget about the ReStores when doing your dorm room shopping. They really are a great place for you to visit!
