Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity will make a foray into the retail business April 5 with the opening of its first ReStore in Baltimore City, specializing in everything including the kitchen sink.

The warehouse, at 505 Kane St., will sell new and donated building materials and home furnishings, with proceeds going back to the nonprofit home builder's operations.

"We have generated a great deal of interest from individual donors, local building
suppliers and builders to donate a warehouse full of varied items," ReStore director Mark Bendann said in a statement. "Our next challenge is to promote this location as an affordable venue to purchase new or slightly used materials and maintain a steady supply of donations."

The ReStore is a model that has been tried out in other markets where Habitat for Humanity operates, helping to finance the group's efforts to build new homes for needy families. Since its formation in 1982, Chesapeake Habit has built more than 125 homes in the Greater Baltimore region.

More information about the ReStore can be found at Chesapeake Habitat's Web site, www.chesapeakehfh.org.
