About Us

Habitat for Humanity of Sawyer County began considering the idea of establishing a ReStore in Hayward during the Spring of 2008. The Fundraising Committee accepted the research task and determined that a ReStore would be financially feasible and a benefit to the community.

Through the efforts of a great group of people, all of them volunteers, the ReStore opened on August 14, 2009. The Grand Opening Celebration was held on October 9th.

Habitat for Humanity of Sawyer County

Habitat for Humanity of Sawyer County works in partnership with future homeowners, local businesses, civic groups, churches, foundations and other caring people from all religions and walks of life.

Habitat builds or renovates basic, practical homes and sells them to qualified families with a no-interest loan. Mortgage payments are spread over 15-30 years depending on the ability to pay. The monthly mortgage payments, which include taxes and insurance, are often less than the rent families are currently paying. Habitat selects families with incomes at or below 50% of the Median Gross Income for Sawyer County. Mortgage payments go into a fund to build more houses.
