Habitat For Humanity ReStore-Dayton, Ohio

"My family and I became partner families with Habitat for Humanity Dayton in 2017'. We completed the entire program, which included completing 550 sweat equity hours. Sixty hours of class curriculum, and saving $1300 in the savings account. We picked out our lot to build our home on Sandy Dr. Build was to take place in January of 2021'. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, based on rule changes made to the program. Initially, the rule in 2017' was if you had young adult children residing with you, and employed, they had to be added to your mortgage. Unbeknownst to me, the rules were changed several years later, when it was time to build our home. I contacted the ombudsman, who investigated the issue. And was contacted by Norm at Habitat for Humanity. He proceeded to explain to me that they were allowed to change the rules. My response to him was, "That's fine, it's when you changed the rules", which is when it's time to build our home. God has taken care of my family & I, and we'll continue to thrive. I DO NOT recommend this program for anyone, we were treated unfairly, and should've been grandfathered into the program, based on the initial rules we were given. *Taking into consideration, we completed the entire program. I'm 55 years of age, and officially eligible for senior living. Looking forward to homeownership, God has the master plan."

"I love it! You get quality furniture for fraction of the price! Plus good customer service!"

"I don’t always find the piece I want when I visit, but they always have a great variety of styles. Furniture has been well cared-for."

"Prices are ridiculous! They are trying to get rich out of things that were donated to them. I understand they're trying to make money to build house. But, a lot of people go there to shop there on fixed incomes. They want worse than brand new prices for something that's not worth much at all. It's bad. I won't go back!!!"

"They want donations. I have donated many items and some new over the years but never again. Hauled a dresser up to them and waited 30 minutes to get to unload. Watched a trailer full of trash get unloaded and taken in but they refused a dresser from me and other bedroom furniture because of a small scratch. Do not waste your time. I have found plenty of other very good charities in the area that are glad to take gently used items."
