Support the store that builds homes and hope.

GIVE STUFF. BUILD HOMES.

Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells new and used building supplies and donated home goods ​at discounted prices.

We accept donations from contractors, retailers, and community members. Our store is filled with volunteers and staff receiving and preparing items for sale in the store. They are the friendly faces you see when you check out with your favorite finds.

When you shop, all the proceeds from the ReStore are used to fund Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build homes, communities, and hope in Black Hawk, Butler, Bremer, and Buchanan counties. Shopping at the ReStore also diverts tons of material from the landfill each year!

Donate, Shop, or Volunteer at the Restore and make a difference in our community.

Destiny is the ReStore Department Manager at Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity. In her role, she oversees daily retail operations, leads and develops staff and volunteers, manages donations and inventory, and ensures the ReStore stays organized and welcoming 🛍️

Destiny’s favorite part of her job is knowing that the work she does helps build homes for families in our community 🏡 One mission moment that continues to inspire her was helping a new homebuyer at the ReStore work toward their sweat equity hours for their future home. 🤝

If Destiny were an item in the ReStore, she would be a piece of furniture—because she believes in transformation and second chances, just like the items we sell ♻️

Outside of work, Destiny enjoys spending quality time with her son, creating meaningful memories, and focusing on personal growth ❤️
