The Lowe’s company based in Kirkland ships home improvement and furnishing merchandise from 3,400 suppliers nationwide. Rather than taking back returned items, the online store will redirect them to Habitat’s ReStores, which sell new and gently used building materials and home products at discounted prices.

ATG Marketing Director Nick Hupka said returned merchandise will simply be routed to the closest ReStore to where the items were shipped. Habitat for Humanity runs a Bellevue ReStore at 13500 Bel-Red Road.

“It’s something we’re really excited about and definitely not the last thing we’ll be doing with Habitat,” Hupka said. “It’s actually running through the summer of 2015, and then we’ll be renewing.”
