The Riverside ReStore is now a proud carrier of Amazon Recycled Paint.
Why recycled paint?
Amazon Select Paints are manufactured from quality, surplus paint that Amazon collects from government, businesses, and consumers. By replacing new paint with recycled paint, resources that would have been used in making the new paint, including the energy used to make and transport the paint and minerals, chemicals, and pigments are saved.
Using recycled content paint, prevents paint material from ending up in a landfill or, worse, down a drain. Recycled paint saves resources, saves energy, reduces pollution, and reduces landfill waste!

Paint information from
www.amazonpaint.com
The Riverside ReStore recently started carrying Amazon Recycled Paint. Amazon paint may be used on interior or exterior surfaces, and can be brushed, rolled or sprayed. It applies easily and provides excellent coverage. Amazon paint is every bit as good as the more expensive, ‘virgin’ paint sold in the big box stores. Amazon Paints are premium quality, eco-friendly latex paints. Amazon’s paint reprocessing system ensures that every gallon sold meets strict specifications for color, gloss, viscosity and coverage. Amazon Select™ meets or exceeds the performance specifications of national paint brands.

Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to call home. We know decent, affordable housing can create transformational change for individuals, families and communities. But in our own backyards here in the U.S., decent and affordable housing is unreachable for far too many families. In April, Habitat is working to spread the word about decent and affordable shelter and what we are doing at the local level to help families gain strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
This month, sharing your support of Habitat for Humanity Riverside will have greater impact because of brand awareness movement being sponsored at the national level. It is our goal to increase community awareness both at home and throughout the nation.
You can join the movement by sharing our social media posts using the hashtag #HomeIsTheKey. Also, you can go shopping at your neighborhood ReStore and when you’re there purchase a key adding a tax deductible donation to your purchase (donate online Here ). Through these actions you will be helping to unlock the future of families in your community and around the world. You will be part of our efforts to help families eliminate the barriers they face to opportunity, success, stability and health by assuring everyone has a decent place to call home.
You can join the effort and be part of a key moment in a family’s future one of three ways.
