Goodwill Thrift Store & Donation Center

Athens Habitat Restore West, part of Athens Area Habitat for Humanity, serves Northeast Georgia by providing affordable home-building opportunities for families in need. Through partnerships with donors, volunteers, and non-profits, they offer strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Homes are built at-cost, utilizing discounts, gifts-in-kind, and sponsorships to ensure affordability for families on the cusp of home-ownership. In addition to home-building, Athens Habitat Restore West pioneered a rental program to offer cost-manageable housing for low-income residents. They also provide accessibility modifications and essential repairs for homeowners facing challenges, and collaborate with local partners to combat homelessness, supporting youths and families in need. Athens Habitat Restore West continually researches and advocates for housing policies to improve affordability and sustainability in the community. Furthermore, the organization is committed to job training initiatives, partnering with the local sheriff’s office to provide construction skills training for eligible inmates. By sharing their expertise and resources, Athens Habitat Restore West not only builds homes but also rehabilitates lives, contributing to a stronger, more inclusive community. Through their holistic approach, they are dedicated to making a lasting impact on housing accessibility and quality in Northeast Georgia. Generated from the website content
