Habitat Ventura ReStore's Summer Online Shopper Contest

The Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County ReStore is excited to announce the launch of its highly anticipated Summer Online Shopper Contest. This initiative not only encourages community engagement but also supports the organization's mission to provide affordable housing in Ventura County. The contest will run from June 7 to June 21, 2025, and presents a unique opportunity for online shoppers to share their purchases and make a positive impact on the local community.

How to Participate

To enter the contest, participants will need to complete a few simple steps:
1. Shop Online: Browse and purchase unique items from the ReStore’s official eBay store, ebay.com/usr/habitatvc.
2. Share Your Find: After making a purchase, take a photo of each unique item bought and share it on social media.
3. Tag Us: Include the ReStore in your posts by tagging our social media accounts: Instagram @habitatvcrestore and Facebook @Habitat for Humanity Ventura County ReStore.

To ensure consideration, each entry must showcase a different purchased item. Participants who actively engage in sharing their finds will have the chance to be recognized. The top three individuals who contribute the most entries will be featured in a special highlight post across the ReStore's social channels.

A Cause Worth Supporting

Wendy Monk, Director of Retail Operations at Habitat Ventura, expressed her enthusiasm for the contest, stating: "This contest is a fun way to celebrate our online shoppers while connecting their purchases directly to a life-changing cause. Every online or in-store sale helps Habitat Ventura build and repair homes for families right here in our community."

The organization’s primary mission is to ensure that everyone in Ventura County has access to a safe and decent place to live. Through its various programs, Habitat Ventura not only builds and sells affordable homes but also conducts essential health and safety repairs, offers financial education for families, and advocates for beneficial housing policies.

Impact Through Shopping

Participating in this contest provides a dual advantage: while shopping at the ReStore, customers support the mission of Habitat for Humanity, they also contribute to funding the construction and renovation of homes for local families. Every purchase, whether online or in-person, plays a crucial role in these transformative efforts.
