Update on May 14, 2021: ReStore currently maintains its safety protocols and requires shoppers, volunteers, and staff to socially distance themselves and wear masks while in the store. Update on February 12, 2021:  We had previously asked that no one under 16 years old be in the store during the COVID-19 pandemic. We now allow minors in the store with adult supervision.

Before you head back or visit ReStore for the first time, there are a few things you need to know. Your safety and the safety of our staff and volunteers are first and foremost. We've created new protocols and rules in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that you should know before visiting.
