Habitat for Humanity of Lee & Hendry Counties was granted a charter in October 1982, becoming one of the first affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International. The local affiliate began with the Lee County Mission Board, which focused on Harlem Heights, a former migrant worker housing area in Lee County. In 1979, the board invited Millard Fuller, who founded the organization in 1976 in Americus, Georgia, to share his housing ministry idea. The first home in Lee County broke ground in February 1980 for the Rivera Family. Since its founding, Habitat has built more than 1,900 homes, repaired over 390 homes, and counseled more than 3,000 families to achieve their housing and financial goals. The organization partners with families to realize their housing goals through HUD-approved housing counseling services and serves as a mortgage lender.

The ReStore operates as a key component of this mission, providing affordable building materials and home furnishings to the community while generating funds for Habitat’s projects. Customers can find a wide variety of gently used items, including cabinets, doors, windows, and appliances. The store relies on donations from individuals, builders, and contractors, creating a cycle of reuse that supports affordable housing initiatives in Lee and Hendry counties.
