Another person’s trash has been somebody else’s treasure for a decade in Sturgeon Bay. It was ten years ago in November Door County Habitat for Humanity opened its ReStore as a way to raise money for its affordable housing projects. During that time, the ReStore has seen dozens of pieces of wooden furniture, unique lamps, and other items find new homes. ReStore manager Megan Dietz says she has seen the changes since she took over the post three years ago.

Dietz says in 2018 the ReStore saved over 100 tons of usable building materials from going to the landfill. Door County Habitat for Humanity will celebrate the ReStore’s anniversary with sales throughout the month.
