Shoppers looking to furnish a home without paying retail prices, or contractors hunting for surplus building materials, will find both at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Paramount Boulevard in Amarillo. The store operates as the retail arm of Amarillo Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit that has been building and rehabilitating homes in the Texas Panhandle since 1981. Everything on the sales floor, from sofas and dining sets to cabinets, doors, light fixtures, appliances, and flooring, arrives as a donation from local residents, contractors, and manufacturers, then gets resold at a fraction of new item cost. Located at 2626 Paramount Boulevard in Amarillo, the ReStore is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am to 5:30 pm, giving weekday and weekend shoppers a wide window to browse. Because inventory turns over constantly as new donations arrive, regular visitors often find the selection looks completely different from one week to the next, which makes the ReStore as much a destination for treasure hunting as it is for practical home improvement shopping. What sets this particular ReStore apart is where the money goes. Every dollar spent on the sales floor supports Amarillo Habitat’s affordable homeownership program, which by the organization’s own account has built or rehabilitated 121 homes in the community to date. Families accepted into the program are not simply given a house. They complete 30 hours of financial literacy training built around a Dave Ramsey based curriculum, contribute 500 hours of sweat equity working alongside volunteers on their own home and others, and put down a 1,500 dollar down payment before receiving a 25 to 30 year mortgage carried at zero interest. That structure means a ReStore purchase of a used dresser or a box of cabinet hardware is, in a very direct sense, underwriting a neighbor’s path to homeownership rather than funding a private company’s profit margin. Volunteers are the backbone of the operation both in the store and on build sites. In 2024, Amarillo Habitat reported that 245 volunteers logged 3,860 hours of service, work that ranges from sorting and pricing donations at the ReStore to framing walls on active builds across the city. Donors dropping off furniture or building materials at Paramount Boulevard are, in effect, feeding that same volunteer driven pipeline, since items too specialized for direct home construction often find a second life as ReStore inventory instead. For anyone in Amarillo remodeling a kitchen, staging a rental property, or simply furnishing a first apartment on a budget, the ReStore offers an alternative to big box retail that keeps usable furniture and materials out of the landfill while funding local housing work. Donation drop off is welcomed during store hours, and the nonprofit encourages both individuals and area businesses to consider the ReStore before discarding gently used furniture, appliances, or renovation surplus. Building materials donors can also call ahead to the store’s donation line to arrange pickup of larger items like cabinetry or doors. In short, the Amarillo Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Paramount Boulevard is a donation based home goods and building materials outlet whose sales fund zero interest mortgages and sweat equity homeownership for local Panhandle families.
