Hear from ReStore Director, Thorin Peugh

Dear Donors, Shoppers, and Volunteers,

We are back!

Usually at the end of the year, we take a couple of weeks off around the holidays. A week in November to celebrate with our families for the Thanksgiving holiday. And again, in December around Christmas.

Now we are back and are excited to get started on another super year here at the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore. 

Donors, are you aware that we offer a complimentary pick-up service for large items you might wish to donate to our cause? That's right, it's a free pickup. We accept good working appliances, gently used and well-maintained furniture too. You can go directly to our website at iowacityrestore.com and schedule a pick-up, post photos and ask questions. On the website you can also get a look at a list of items we accept and a list of items we are not able to take. We can't wait to see what you bring to help build homes in 2026!

Hey you Shoppers! We've been waiting for you to come in and support our mission by purchasing quality used items at a fraction of retail cost! Building materials, appliances, light fixtures, tools, hardware, and all the furniture you could possibly fill your spaces with. Keep the color of the tag in mind, because we change them every week. The color tag on that sweet barstool may get you up to 75% off. Check the color board right when you come in and be sure to get your discounts!

Volunteer folks, we see you. Are you looking to spend a few hours a week with your new friends? We have the opportunity and privilege to help you with that. All the while you are helping put our mission to work. You can come to the ReStore and help sort and price donations. Or you can separate and bag redeemable cans and bottles to help generate money to help build homes for people in your community. There are plenty of jobs here for all skill levels. You have a specific set of skills you would be interested in sharing with us? Lamp restoration, furniture repair, retail experience, upholstery, you name it. We will find a good fit for you here in the store.

So, remember we are back. Your donations, your spending​, and your time, help your Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity build homes, create friendships, and offer quality items to people in our community.

See you soon,
​Thorin Peugh
Director, Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore
