Encore Family Consignment began in 1989. For over two decades, we have served the area with quality resale clothing for the family, accessories, home decor, movies, books, toys, and more! Consignments arrive daily so stop in often to see what’s new!
In the past 25 years, we have completed over 100 homes in Cass, Crow Wing and Hubbard Counties. Active in 100 countries, Habitat for Humanity International has built over 500,000 homes, providing more than 2 million people in 3,000 communities with safe, decent and affordable shelter.

ReStore:
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a home improvement store that sells new and used furniture, appliances and building supplies at a fraction of the retail price. All proceeds support Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity’s work building homes for hard-working local families.
Through the selling of donated construction and home related items we:
- Provide quality building materials to the general public at discounted prices.
- Prevent usable items from being put in landfills.
- Increase the number of homes built with low-income families through Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity.
Itasca County Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization. We put God’s love into action.
How? By partnering with people who are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing, locally and worldwide.
Together, we do this through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes, by pushing for fair housing policies, and by providing training and resources to help families improve their condition. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a safe, decent and affordable place.
With your help, we aim to make that happen.
