Habitat for Humanity Ireland will launch Habitat ReStore in Glasnevin later this year!
Habitat ReStore, the low-cost DIY store that builds sustainable community, directly tackles poverty here in Ireland. By selling donated new and used building supplies and home improvement materials ReStore enables local people to improve their homes at low cost. ReStore also provides skills and employability training for people of all ages and backgrounds and diverts tons of reusable waste from landfill.
Habitat Ireland’s Chief Executive Jenny Williams said, “We are excited to be launching the first ReStore in Dublin in 2025. This is the first of three ReStores which will open in Ireland over the next three years, thanks to funding from Rethink Ireland’s ‘Entrepreneurship Impact Fund’.”
“Every year, the six ReStores across Ireland are making a difference for local people, communities and the planet. Support from local people, companies, churches and the wider community will be essential to make ReStore Glasnevin a success, and we are looking forward to building the partnerships which have made ReStore successful across the network.”
