Habitat Cares
At Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Salt Lake Area, we believe in putting love into action by offering people and the everyday essentials they rely on a fresh start. Through our ReStore, we work alongside the Wasatch Front community to ensure that dignity, stability, and hope take root—starting with the basics and growing toward a safe, stable home.
Supporting People through Habitat Cares
Street Outreach and Essential Supplies
Habitat Cares is our vital outreach program meeting the urgent needs of neighbors experiencing homelessness. By repurposing donations of non-perishable food, hygiene products, warm clothing, and camping supplies, we provide immediate relief. These essentials are distributed through local service agencies, ensuring no neighbor is forgotten.
2026 Impact:
$500,000+
In basic necessities channeled annually to outreach partners.
Partnering for Maximum Impact
We collaborate with more than 26 local nonprofits—including The Road Home and the Fourth Street Clinic—to steward donated goods. Major retailers frequently liquidate inventory through our ReStore, allowing us to quickly convert surplus into lifelines for outreach teams and the people they serve.
Stepping into Sustainable Homeownership
Habitat Cares also walks alongside those transitioning out of crisis by providing home furnishings and household supplies to individuals moving into stable housing. A furnished home—a real bed, a kitchen table, dishes in the cupboard—transforms an empty unit into a place of safety and belonging.
Giving Things a New Life
Refurbishing Appliances
We keep thousands of tons of reusable material out of local landfills by refurbishing washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Every item is tested and comes with a 30-day warranty, providing families with reliable, affordable options.
Affordable Building Materials
Contractors and vendors donate excess inventory, giving high-quality products like windows, fixtures, and our famous $20 toilets a second chance to improve a home while supporting sustainable development.
Free Community Book Exchange
The ReStore is home to a free library filled with imagination. Customers may take up to five books per visit, and children are welcome to read while families shop. It’s a powerful reminder that restoration is about the sense of possibility that grows when a community comes together.
