Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley, opened a new ReStore location in Hellertown, adding to the original retail location in Whitehall. Now the 501(c)(3) nonprofit is able to serve both Lehigh and Northampton counties with its ReStore operations.

Opening in 2013, the Habitat Lehigh Valley Whitehall ReStore reached $1 million in sales in 2023, and the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity is excited to see its growth reach even more low to moderate income families in the Lehigh Valley.

The new ReStore in Hellertown inhabits the former Neighbors Lawn and Garden Center property on Main Street in Hellertown. Habitat Lehigh Valley spent the summer of 2024 completely renovating the space which had been unoccupied for several years.

ReStores around the country support Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Funds generated at both ReStore locations in the Lehigh Valley funnel directly back into the homeownership and critical home repair programs, and every donation of gently-used items supports ReStore sales.

The Hellertown ReStore has already seen support from the local community and is filled with unique antique furniture, housewares, brand-new home décor, building supplies, plumbing fixtures and more. Donations have been accepted since Sept. 10, and the organization anticipates a very busy and active grand opening after a formal ribbon cutting ceremony with the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce was held

Oct. 24.

Both ReStore locations in Whitehall and Hellertown are open for donations Tuesdays – Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and open for shopping Wednesdays – Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Founded in 1989, Habitat Lehigh Valley has dedicated 138 homes in the past 35 years and helped repair over 100 homes for low to moderate income families. Habitat Lehigh Valley looks forward to the continued support from the local community as it nears completion of four homes in South Bethlehem on Philip Street and repairs

even more homes throughout Lehigh and Northampton counties.
