Habitat For Humanity Thrift Store Moving To Kislin's In Toms River

TOMS RIVER, NJ — The Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity ReStore — the thrift store that takes community donations of goods and sells them to fund its home-building mission — is moving.

The store, which has occupied a space on Route 166, will be moving to the former home of Bob Kislin's Sporting Goods, which closed in 2015 after 40 years in business.

"The ReStore is a nonprofit home goods store and donation center that sells gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials and more at a fraction of the retail price," Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity said in a news release about the move. "Shopping at the ReStore is a thrill of discovery; with new donations arriving daily and rapid-changing inventory, you never know what you may find."

All funds raised are used to directly support the construction of affordable housing and repair projects by Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity.

If you are a resident of Northern Ocean County who is looking to get rid of furniture or household items, the ReStore will pick up for free. A tax donation receipt is also provided.

The ReStore will continue operating out of its current location at 1201 Lakewood Road (also known as Route 166), Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Information is available on Facebook.

Volunteers are needed to help clean out and renovate the new location. If interested, please contact the volunteer coordinator at volunteercoordinator@nohfh.com or at 732-228-7962 x 110.

Habitat for Humanity helps needy families get affordable housing while also emphasizing self-reliance. To date, the Northern Ocean County affiliate has completed 17 new homes, 60 Hurricane Sandy critical
home repairs and more than 140 home repairs, officials said.
