From the website:
Habitat ReStores are retail outlets where quality used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses within the community. Many affiliates across the United States and Canada operate successful ReStores—some of which raise enough funds to build an additional 10 or more houses per year.
Materials sold by Habitat ReStores are usually donated from building supply stores, contractors, demolition crews or from individuals who wish to show their support for Habitat. In addition to raising funds, ReStores help the environment by rechanneling good, usable materials into use.

I've been to one of these. They're pretty cool, although it would be nice if more contractors donated rather than taking all their stuff to the dump. In NoCal, they have a section like these stores right at the dump, and they separate out "good" trash from the regular trash to sell there. I wish we did that down here.
