Hamilton, ON (May 28, 2024) We’re thrilled to share that Habitat for Humanity Hamilton’s second ReStore location is now open. It was a challenging path to get here, taking several years to find the right location and to get the new store set up for our needs. But we are finally here, and it’s an occasion worth celebrating.
Located at 1525 Stone Church Road East, our new ReStore is set to make a positive impact on the Hamilton community. As a social enterprise, the ReStore helps cover administrative costs for Habitat for Humanity Hamilton, enabling 100% of every donation we receive to go directly towards our charitable home build programs. This new location will enable us to serve even more Hamiltonians, bringing us closer to our vision of a world where everyone has a safe, decent place to live.
A Memorable Grand Opening
The grand opening event took place on May 15, 2024. The event was a resounding success, with a fantastic turnout of community members, volunteers, and supporters, all eager to explore the new store and learn more about our work. Attendees had the opportunity to tour the new store, enjoy refreshments, and engage with our team to learn about the positive impact Habitat Hamilton has on the community. The event began with a warm welcome from Sean Ferris, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Hamilton, who emphasized the importance of the new ReStore in advancing our mission.
“We are thrilled to open the doors of our second ReStore location in Hamilton,” said Ferris. “With every new ReStore that opens, we are better equipped to serve our community and build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.”
