New Business in the Corcoran Neighborhood
New features are popping up all over our area. There are new businesses being established that help our community, one of those being the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ReStore. With this great business, you can get home goods for great prices and give back to the public.
The ReStore is a home improvement outlet. They sell donated home furnishings and building materials for a fraction of the original costs. Everything found in their store is donation based and their merchandise comes every day from contractors, retailers, and private individuals.
At the ReStore you can get involved through buying, donating, and volunteering. Through shopping, the proceeds go toward Habitat for Humanity’s efforts to provide decent housing. You can donate to the ReStore, but please read their donation guidelines before doing so here: (https://restore.tchabitat.org/donate). They accept a wide variety of items and all donations are tax deductible and 100% used towards Habitat for Humanity’s mission. The third way you can get involved is through volunteering. You can volunteer as a group or as an individual. As a volunteer, your tasks could range anywhere from accepting donations, cashiering, or answering the phone. This great organization could not be run without volunteers, so if you’re looking for someplace to do so, the ReStore is a great option.
Upon visiting the ReStore I was greeted by a pleasant environment and friendly staff. The building is fairly large and filled with a grand assortment of items for exceptionally reasonable prices. Towards the front you have furniture, lighting and paint. In the back of the store you can find bulk lumber, home improvement items, and much more. Everything was reasonably priced and I would feel even better spending the money there since it goes towards a good cause. My father decided to get a few items, and upon checking out we found the staff was very friendly and happy. Altogether it was a pleasurable shopping experience.
All in all, the Habitat for Humanity's South Minneapolis Restore is a great place to shop and volunteer. They are located at 2700 Minnehaha Avenue and their website address is http://www.habitat.org/restores. I would definitely suggest visiting there sometime in the near future.
