Press release from Habitat for Humanity ReStore:
Asheville, NC (February 27, 2015) –Clear the clutter, empty your attic and take back your
garage! There is no better time than now to start your spring cleaning. To help motivate
Buncombe County residents, during the month of March the Habitat ReStore will give
merchandise donors a coupon for 25% off their total purchase during the week of Earth
Day (April 18-26, 2015). Donations are accepted at the Habitat ReStore, located at 33
Meadow Road near Biltmore Village, Monday through Saturday between 9am and 6pm. Or, for
larger items, call 828-254-6706 to schedule a free pick-up (within Buncombe County).
In addition to feeling good about giving usable items a new lease on life by donating them, you
can also feel good about supporting affordable housing; because that’s exactly what you do
when you donate to (or shop at) the Habitat ReStore. Proceeds from ReStore sales help fund
Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity’s building programs (new home construction and home
repair) and cover administrative and fundraising expenses.
Since 1990, the Asheville Habitat ReStore has provided the community with a source for
affordable, gently used—and sometimes new—building materials, furniture, appliances,
housewares, books, art and much more. And thanks to this community’s strong commitment to
reuse, the ReStore diverts 1,500 tons of usable materials from landfills annually. To learn more
about the ReStore, view the Donation Guidelines, or schedule a pick-up, visit
