For more than 30 years,Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa has been helping local families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership. Supported by generous donors, dedicated volunteers, community partners, and ReStore shoppers, Habitat creates lasting social and economic impact by providing families with safe, affordable homes while promoting sustainability through the reuse of furniture, appliances, building materials, and home décor. Every donation, purchase, and volunteer hour helps reduce waste, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for families to achieve long-term housing stability and a brighter future across the Ottawa region.

In 2025,Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa ReStores continued to make a significant impact by giving quality donated items a second life while supporting affordable housing initiatives across the region. Through the generosity of donors and shoppers, thousands of furniture pieces, appliances, home improvement products, and household items were diverted from local landfills, helping to reduce waste and promote sustainable living. Every purchase and donation contributed directly to Habitat's mission, generating essential funding that helps local families achieve affordable homeownership and build brighter futures.
