Building a Better Tomorrow

Two neigh­bor­ing Habitat for Humanity affil­i­ates are join­ing forces to offer ReStore dona­tion pick­up ser­vices in Madison and Clark coun­ties. As Habitat for Humanity of Madison & Clark Counties real­lo­cates resources and con­cen­trates its efforts on serv­ing more peo­ple through build­ing homes, the Lexington Habitat for Humanity ReStore will expand its no-cost dona­tion pick­ups and its decon­struc­tion pro­gram into the coun­ties to ensure seam­less, unin­ter­rupt­ed ser­vice for the area. 

The Madison & Clark Counties ReStore in Richmond will close its doors on December 16, 2025. The Lexington ReStore will begin to serve the area in January 2026. 

“By con­sol­i­dat­ing our resources, we can bet­ter focus on our hous­ing mis­sion while our part­ners at Lexington Habitat make sure that the res­i­dents of Madison and Clark Counties have access to ReStore dona­tion pick­up ser­vices,” said Bryan Kirby, President of Habitat for Humanity of Madison & Clark Counties.

“We are hon­ored to part­ner with our neigh­bors in Madison and Clark Counties to pro­vide ReStore ser­vices,” said Lexington Habitat CEO Darryl Neher. “Not only does the ReStore sup­port our abil­i­ty to pro­vide a path­way to home­own­er­ship for fam­i­lies in the Commonwealth, but it also diverts hun­dreds of tons of mate­ri­als from land­fills every year. This part­ner­ship ensures that ReStore ser­vices con­tin­ue dur­ing a time of tran­si­tion and fur­ther empow­ers Habitat of Madison & Clark Counties to focus on what they do best: build­ing homes, com­mu­ni­ties and hope in cen­tral Kentucky.” 

The col­lab­o­ra­tion will allow both Habitat for Humanity affil­i­ates to con­tin­ue pur­su­ing their shared vision of world where every­one has a decent place to live.
