Habitat ReStores

Habitat ReStores are home improvement stores that offer new and gently used appliances, furniture, building materials, and more at a fraction of the retail cost. Each Habitat ReStore is locally owned and operated, and proceeds help build Habitat for Humanity homes. After you are signed into your account select a ReStore location below for more details and opportunities to serve.

Home Construction

No experience is needed! Whether you are learning new skills or simply adding a few to your tool belt, volunteering with Habitat Hillsborough is a rewarding experience helping build and ready a home for a family to move in. These builds happen across Hillsborough county and the location is not updated until 1-2 weeks prior to the event due to constantly changing construction needs.

Home Preservation

Keeping people in their homes is another important area for our Construction team and most Home Preservation projects are referred to us by Code Enforcement. These special projects work with families that are disabled, seniors, or veterans who are unable to care for a part of their home or need accessibility renovations. Projects include things like minor home repairs, building a ramp, landscaping and more. You will also find seasonal projects related to storm repair under this program.
