WHAT IS RESTORE YOUR PASSION
One piece. Endless possibilities. A whole lot of passion!
Get ready to see the ReStore in a whole new way! At Habitat for Humanity’s inaugural ReStore Your Passion, our talented local creatives, known as ReImagineers, have transformed unique ReStore finds into something extraordinary. Now, they’re inviting you to follow along on their restoration journeys as they share their creativity, progress, and behind-the-scenes inspiration on social media (links to their social media pages below). Follow our ReImagineers, cheer them on, and watch their transformations come to life! Then join us on October 29 for an evening of creativity, community, and a little friendly auction excitement. Each reimagined piece will be up for grabs at our live auction, giving you the chance to take home something truly one-of-a-kind. Even better? Every dollar raised supports Habitat for Humanity of Elkhart County’s mission to build affordable homes and strengthen our community.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Live Auction
Beautifully refurbished furniture from the Habitat ReStore is available for purchase at a live auction.
Local Eats

What to Expect
