Smartest Move
In 1999, Show-Me Central Habitat for Humanity opened a ReStore at 1906 Monroe Street to sell new and used building materials and appliances. Generous businesses have given us their excess inventory items or new merchandise when the line they carry changed. Homeowners bring in doors, appliances in good condition, and other items when they remodel. Proceeds from the store now pay for almost 2 houses a year. A truly win-win recycling project!
