Wilkinson ReStore, Habitat Charlotte Region

The Wilkinson ReStore is the Habitat for Humanity Charlotte Region resale store on Wilkinson Boulevard. It is the place for furniture, cabinetry, appliances, rugs, doors, bathtubs and light fixtures, plus books and DVDs. Every sale funds Habitat’s home building. Do not come for a specific item; come to browse and see what turns up.
