Building business relationships in support of non-profit missions!

 

 

Re-Stor-York

 

Opened in Spring 2002, Re-Stor-York is a home improvement store managed through the collaboration of Bell Socialization Services, Inc. and York Habitat for Humanity.

 

While Re-Stor-York’s goals include providing a retail outlet for low cost home improvement materials, and thereby recycling these items to avoid increased landfill waste, the business also provides year-end funds to help the sponsoring organizations meet their individual missions.

 

Another key component of the Re-Stor-York operation is providing employment to low income disabled persons – primarily Bell consumers – to help develop vocational and socialization skills. Some of these employees have become long term members of the store team; others have successfully transitioned into other work environments.

 

What you’ll find at Re-Stor-York is room upon warehouse-size room of everything from imported ceramic tiles, whirlpool tubs and pallets of brick pavers to windows, doors, vintage lighting fixtures and boxes of screws. While many of the items are brought to the store by local manufacturers and contractors, anyone can buy from the large, ever-changing assortment.
