Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis has announced it will open a second ReStore in Des Peres. The new ReStore proposal received unanimous approval for a variance as required by the Des Peres Board of Adjustments. It is scheduled to open in June and will be located at 2117 Sams Drive.

The mission of the ReStore is to provide additional financial resources to Habitat for Humanity St. Louis, expand opportunities to serve a broader base of the community by providing low-cost materials and provide good stewardship of sustainable resources within the St. Louis MSA.
