new box truck
In 2025, we were able to purchase a new box truck with a working lift gate to help us better serve the community and pick up large donations for the store.

The ReStore Difference
New Collaborative Event in 2025: Nonprofit Thrift Trail
The Habitat ReStore teamed up with Blue Jacket, The Franciscan Center, The Lighthouse, and MCC Thrift to host a citywide “thrift crawl”: the first-ever Fort Wayne Nonprofit Thrift Trail. The response was incredible! Our goal was to bring the community together for a fun weekend while showcasing how each of our nonprofits supports our neighbors. Not only did we accomplish that, but every store set new daily sales records! Together, we raised more than $104,000 in just two days.
Thank you to everyone across Allen and Huntington Counties who helped us raise $26,081 from recycling cans! We joined over 50 Habitat affiliates across the U.S. to encourage recycling aluminum cans and fund Habitat homes and were named the 3rd Habitat recycler in the U.S. the second year in a row!
Special thanks to St. Vincent de Paul Carpenter’s Society for building two new recycling sheds to allow us to continue expanding our program, Kelly Box for donating indoor recycling bins, and SkyHigh Graphix for wrapping our ‘new to us’ box truck.
