Habitat for Humanity itself is a nonprofit housing organization that works in local communities across all 50 states and in roughly 70 countries, with a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Locally, the affiliate builds and improves homes in partnership with individuals and families in need of a decent, affordable place to live. Homebuyers are selected by a family selection committee based on their level of need, their willingness to partner with Habitat, and their ability to repay a mortgage through an affordable payment plan. As part of that partnership, homebuyers invest hundreds of hours of their own labor, called sweat equity, working alongside volunteers and other Habitat homeowners. Family selection follows a nondiscriminatory policy; neither race nor religion is a factor.

The ReStore sits on New Franklin Road in LaGrange, with Dixie Creek just alongside it. Mooty Bridge Road is about four-tenths of a mile away, and LaGrange Fire Department Station 4 and Thomastown School are each roughly half a mile from the store. North Greenwood Street lies about six-tenths of a mile away.

The store's positive rating reflects the regard of the customers who have shopped and donated there. In LaGrange, that support turns donated furniture, appliances and building materials into funding for local homebuilding.
