Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent and affordable place to live. With the help of local Habitat families, donors, community partners and volunteers, Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa builds affordable homes that provide a solid foundation for local families.

They include reduced reliance on social housing and food banks, better educational, financial and employment outcomes and improved health and overall wellbeing for families. Community Guidelines:

Your ReStore donations make a difference! Instead of ending up as waste after use, usable goods are diverted from local landfills thanks to donations of new and gently used products from the community and our corporate partners!

Donated items are resold at our social enterprise, ReStore, reducing waste and keeping valuable materials in circulation longer.

What's more? Proceeds from sales support Habitat’s mission in building homes, communities and hope.

So don’t waste, donate to your local ReStore while strengthening your community! Visit habitatgo.ca/restore/what-we-accept/ for more information, or call one of our ReStore locations today:

A huge thank you to the team from Aviva Canada for spending the day with us at our Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa ReStore locations on May 29th!

At our City Centre ReStore, Aviva volunteers rolled up their sleeves to install hanging racks for clothing storage and helped sort and merchandise a large donation of new clothing from our retail partners, ensuring more great items made it onto the sales floor for shoppers.

Meanwhile, at our Train Yards ReStore, the team took on a major demolition project, helping transform an office space into additional retail space that will allow us to showcase even more quality products.

Thank you again to Aviva for being such a fantastic team and for helping us build stronger communities together.

Rain or shine, smiles were guaranteed! 🚲💙

Last month, Habitat Homeowners and their kids picked up the bikes generously assembled by the team at Louis W Bray Construction Limited. While the weather may have been a little grey, the excitement certainly wasn't.

A HUGE thank you to the Louis W Bray Construction team, for helping create some summer fun and lasting memories.
