Use your Do-It-Yourself skills for ReStore Upcycle Challenge 2021

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore is calling all Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts and novices to make a difference in assisting their communities with the Restore Upcycle Challenge 2021.

The ReStore Upcycle Challenge 2021 will bring DIY enthusiasts and novices together to transform items found in ReStore’s 10,000 square-foot-resale warehouse into one-of-a-kind designer pieces. The transformations will be sold at the ReStore with 100% of the proceeds going toward supporting Housatonic Habitat’s mission of building affordable homes in the Greater Danbury region for qualified working families in need of decent places to live.

According to ReStore Manager Diana Arfine, “Local designers, DIY enthusiasts, and civic teams are invited to register for the free challenge. Each contestant will receive a $100 ReStore credit on furniture and materials they can use in their ReStore Upcycle Challenge project.”

Arfine says, “Register by February 28 to be part of this exciting new event. We’ll give you a $100 ReStore credit on furniture and materials to use in your ReStore Upcycle Challenge project. Augment your creation with your supplies. Participants will donate their creations back to ReStore between April 10th - 17th, where they will be highlighted with other entries in-store from April 20th to 23rd and on our website and social media outlets.”

Visit the Danbury ReStore at 51 Austin Street in Danbury to register or contact April van der Noll at april@housatonichabitat.org for further information.

Housatonic Habitat for Humanity focuses on making a meaningful difference in the lives of qualified working families by promoting financial stability and self-sufficiency through ownership of affordable homes.
