Local Habitat for Humanity launches new furniture program

A new initiative aims to help people in need get furniture.

Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills announced on Thursday the launching of “Hope ReStored,” a program dedicated to helping local low-income families meet their furniture needs.

The program operates through the Habitat for Humanity’ ReStore, which is at

514 Pillsbury Drive in Manhattan.

Hope ReStored works with local organizations such as Be Able, Manhattan Emergency Center, Manhattan Area Resettlement Team, and Shepherd’s Crossing to distribute gift cards to families in need.

These organizations identify eligible families and ensure the gift cards reach those who will benefit most, according to a written statement from Habitat. Families can then use these gift cards at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore to meet their furniture needs.

The ReStore sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, and building materials at a fraction of the retail price, with proceeds supporting Habitat’s mission.
