Shop. Donate. Help Us Build Affordable Homes.

The Duncan ReStore is more than just a second-hand store—it’s a vital part of Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island’s mission to build affordable housing for local families. When you shop or donate at the ReStore, you’re directly supporting the construction of safe, decent homes in our community.

We sell a wide range of new and gently used furniture, appliances, building materials, and home décor, all at affordable prices. Proceeds from every sale go straight into funding our local build projects—so your next DIY or home upgrade can help build someone else’s future.

Summer 2026 Building Material Drive: On Now

Can your company lead the way in Vancouver Island's building material donation drive? This summer, we’re challenging contractors, developers, trades, manufacturers, and suppliers to compete in our inaugural Building Material Drive.

The challenge is simple: Instead of sending surplus and salvaged construction materials to landfill, donate them to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore to support affordable housing projects in our community.

We've made participating easy. Request a free job site pickup or drop your materials off at your local Habitat ReStore.

"As residential contractors, we see firsthand the impact that quality materials have on creating a home. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity allows us to extend that into the wider Vancouver Island community. Donating these materials isn’t just about reducing jobsite waste, it’s about structural sustainability and helping neighbours build a solid foundation for the future."

B. Gallant Homes / ReStore Donor

“We are excited about spending the holidays in our new Habitat home, and carrying on our traditions, while also being able to create new ones with our children.”

Lisa / Habitat Home Recipient

We feel very fortunate to have a home to call our own;a home that our children can grow up into. It feels very comforting to know that we will no longer be at the mercy of landlords deciding to sell, and us having to move and uproot the children from their established neighbourhood and relationships within the community. It is paramount that the children have a secure and comfortable home they can rely on. We are incredibly grateful for this.”

James / Habitat Home Recipient

"For the two of us, home is a place; that new place is here. Forever our family need not worry of the hardship of obtaining a house due to Habitat's kindness. Our lives can prosper, and we can finally call this blessing our home. Thank you."

Jaime / Habitat Home Recipient

It has been a pleasure and honour to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, Mid-Vancouver Island. The staff are comprised of a great group of people; organized and easy to work with. Everyone should volunteer at least once!

How We Make A Difference

At Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island, we focus on creating a clear pathway to affordable homeownership for local families who are ready to build a better future—but who don’t qualify for traditional mortgages. Our affordable homeownership program bridges the gap between social housing, rental housing, and the open market by offering families the chance to purchase a home at fair market value, with no down payment and an affordable mortgage.
