Habitat For Humanity Inland Valley‑ReStore Lake Elsinore is a thrift store in Lake Elsinore, CA. The ReStore sells new and gently used remodel and home‑improvement materials that have been donated to Habitat for Humanity. Its inventory includes paint supplies, lighting, tile, doors, windows, appliances, rugs, furniture, kitchen and bath cabinets, sinks, toilets and other items useful for home projects.

The ReStore operates as part of Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, an affiliate founded in 1991 on Christian principles to provide low‑income housing and improve living conditions throughout the region. Its mission is to facilitate the dream of homeownership while offering an “hand‑up, not a hand‑out.” The Lake Elsinore location opened 15 months after the original Temecula store, expanding access to affordable building supplies. Sales revenue directly funds Habitat’s community programs, and the ReStore has helped divert more than 2,600 tons of material from local landfills. In addition to fundraising, the store provides a training environment for volunteers, including displaced workers and individuals with disabilities, teaching retail and merchandising skills.

The store is situated at 570‑I Central Avenue, on the main Central Avenue corridor. It lies about 0.2 miles from the North Elsinore neighborhood and the intersection with Collier Avenue, and roughly 0.4 miles from the Temecula Valley Freeway. The Alternative Education Center is located about 0.5 miles away, making the ReStore easily reachable for local shoppers and volunteers.

By offering affordable home‑improvement supplies and channeling proceeds into Habitat for Humanity’s housing initiatives, the Lake Elsinore ReStore provides a practical resource that supports both DIY homeowners and the broader community in Lake Elsinore.
