Recycling at The Restore

The Habitat ReStore recycling service salvages good and usable building materials from residential homes that are being demolished or remodeled in Smith County. At a competitive fee, our staff and volunteer recycling crews will come on site to efficiently remove and haul materials.

Are you ready to join us?

There are many ways that volunteers carry out our mission in Smith County. Volunteers help build homes, re-build homes, staff our Home Improvement Outlet Store, and work in our administrative offices.

Church Partnership Opportunities

Congregations of all sizes can partner with Habitat for Humanity in a variety of ways. That partnership works best when we can help your church carry out its goals for ministry.

Smith County Habitat is an independent, locally run, nonprofit organization.

Smith County Habitat chooses its homeowners based on three criteria:

      • the applicants' level of need
      • their willingness to become partners in the program
      • and their ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest loan.

Neither race nor religion is a factor in the application process for families who are accepted into the Habitat program.
