    And yet Habitat for Humanity manages to build houses while it’s stores are actually thrift stores.

      Habitat for humanity uses the exact same model as goodwill for its retail charity stores.

      Retail Revenue

      Most Habitat for Humanity affiliates around the country have a ReStore, which is a resale store that receives donations of various types of home goods from people in their community and sells them for a profit. This profit goes directly toward Habitat’s mission and supports the organization’s efforts to build and repair homes.

      You can disagree with Goodwill as a charity, but both are still thrift stores.
