Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
About Habitat for Humanity York County
Habitat for Humanity York County was founded in 1985 by Miles Freeman and a small group of dedicated individuals. Since that time, Habitat has completed 41 homes in York County for hard-working people in need of decent, affordable housing.
In June 2013, Habitat opened a ReStore. The Kennebunk ReStore sells donated building materials, appliances, furniture, hardware and household goods to the general public at discounted prices. In 2023 The ReStore purchased its forever home at 123 York Street. The proceeds from the ReStore support Habitat’s affordable housing mission.
The Kennebunk ReStore accepts drop off donations Tuesday-Saturday from 9:00am-3:00pm. The ReStore also picks up donations throughout York County. You can schedule a pick up here.
Habitat’s Aging in Place program assists low-income homeowners with minor repairs and accessibility modifications. The goal of the program is to help seniors become safer in their homes.

Organizational Values
Strength
With a little help, we all have the potential to stand on our own. No matter who we are or where we come from. Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.
Stability
Strong, energy efficient, attractive homes help build stronger and more stable communities. A safe and affordable home opens doors to new opportunities for financial success and better living that can benefit a family far into their future with the hope of catalyzing generational wealth.
Self-Reliance
Habitat for Humanity homeowners purchase their homes through an affordable mortgage which will be no more than 29-30% of their gross monthly income including insurance and annual taxes. Habitat partner families receive financial education, and participate in helping to build their new homes.
