Habitat ReStores to Offer Military Discounts Every Monday

Thank you for your service.

The Habitat ReStores in Newport News, Williamsburg and Yorktown now offer a military discount as a small way to honor those who served.

Every Monday โ€“ Military Appreciation Mondays as we will call it from now on โ€“ veterans, active duty military and their families will receive 10% off their purchase.

The ReStore sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, contracting supplies and more at prices 30-90% below retail. All proceeds go toward building Habitat houses locally that are sold to families who pay back 20 to 30 year no-interest mortgages through Habitatโ€™s First-Time Homebuyer Program. Those payments are recycled back into the community to construct more houses.

โ€œWeโ€™re happy to support our servicemen and women and their families for the sacrifices they make,โ€ said Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg. โ€œThey are the heart of our community.โ€

The Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg region is home to one of the worldโ€™s largest concentrations of armed forces in the United States, with the largest naval base in the world located nearby, and more than 80,000 active-duty personnel living in the broader region.

The Habitat ReStores are open 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. from Monday-Saturday and closed Sundays.
