COVID-19 UPDATE: RESTORE DONATIONS
The safety of our customers, donors, and staff is our top priority. Due to the health and safety risks of COVID-19, we have decided to close the Cape Fear Habitat ReStores. We are closely watching the recommendations of local public health agencies and will reopen once it is safe to do so.
Donations will not be accepted at the stores and no new donation pick-ups will be scheduled until further notice to keep our staff and our donors safe.
Thank you for your understanding during this unpredictable time. For updates on Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity’s response to COVID-19, please visit https://www.capefearhabitat.org/covid-19-update/ or email ReStore@capefearhabitat.org.
