Recognizing Excellence
 

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Riverside (also known as the Riverside ReStore) is a non-profit, retail store committed to the success of Habitat for Humanity Riverside by providing on-going financial support through the sale of donated new and reusable home improvement items. The Riverside Riverside also serves as an alternative waste diversion option in the community. Customers who support our vision and make purchases with a repurpose in mind, and donors who give items a chance at a new life, are the cornerstone of our growth and success. On April 21st, Habitat for Humanity Riverside was honored with the Sustainability Award by the Riverside County’s Department of Waste Resources.

Following Earth Day, the Department of Waste Resources gave out Sustainability Awards to one organization from each district.

The Sustainability Award is centered on the concept of recognizing innovative business practices that exemplify the four “R’s”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rethink. These include, but are not limited to: composting, energy recovery, renewable energy, conservation and the practice and awareness of how materials are used, processed, and consumed. It was established to distinguish the contributions of an organization’s efforts towards sustainability. The Riverside ReStore was recognized for its leadership and contributions to sustainability practices by diverting tens of thousands of tons of materials from landfills and for its commitment to the concepts of sustainability by practicing them conscientiously and consistently.

The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Riverside operates as an environmentally friendly business by rethinking and repurposing materials daily, as it processes donations while evaluating items for reuse and, in turn, resale.  Its business model is dependent on donated goods that are sold to fund the mission driven work of Habitat. Every donation made to the Riverside ReStore generates funds that go into building homes, communities and hope in our local communities.

The Riverside ReStore’s successes are attributed to commitment of staff, donors, customers, and volunteers who give of their time, talent and treasure.
