The Habitat Store Mission
A Habitat Store is a facility that supports the services provided by its local Habitat for
Humanity affiliate. The income generated from the project goes specifically toward
expanding the building program of the local Habitat affiliate.

Habitat Stores recycle overstocked, discontinued, new and used building materials
donated by manufacturers, stores, contractors and individuals. They also stock
appliances, furniture, and much more.  These donated items are sold to the public
or used in construction of Habitat houses. All revenue from sales goes to the local
affiliate in support of its building program.

The Lewiston-Clarkston Partners organization became an affiliate of Habitat for
Humanity International in 1991. Since then the local affiliate has constructed 19
new homes and remodeled one home. The homes are sold to partner families
in need at no profit on a twenty-year no interest mortgage.

The Lewiston Idaho Habitat Store opened in mid-September 2006.   It has been
very well received by the Lewiston/Clarkston community. After the first year of
operation the store generated approximately $75,000 in net income; enough to
fund the building of an additional home.  We've gradually added shelving and
display fixtures and the store is now well stocked with a variety of merchandise.
Sales and donations have been well above expectations.

The Habitat Store is run by volunteer help and the merchandise we sell is all
donated by individuals and businesses. Donations are tax deductible since we
are a non-profit organization.  The proceeds from the Habitat Store go to the
Habitat for Humanity home building projects.  Building projects provide families
in need with a decent place to live that is safe and affordable.  It is a home in
which hope and personal dignity can thrive.
