WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE IOWA CITY RESTORE?

Assembling...measuring...organizing...and more!

Last month, U.S. Bank - Branch Managers generously donated their time to our Iowa City ReStore. This incredible team of volunteers assembled new light fixtures, measured & organized all the doors to make it easier for shoppers to access, organized the houseware section to make it shopable, put away six shopping carts of recently priced merchandise, and so much more! We truly cannot thank them enough for all of their help at our ReStore!

Did you hear? We have a new ReStore website, and we encourage all to check it out! While you are exploring the new website, follow us on our Iowa City ReStore Facebook page to stay updated on store inventory, special sales, donation needs, and volunteer opportunities.
