Habitat ReStores help the organization reach its fund-raising goals by selling new and gently used home furnishings, appliances and a wide range of other products.

Habitat for Humanity officials said Ethan Allen's donation made a positive impact on more than 140 local Habitat organizations around the country. Proceeds from the sale of products, which included furniture, home goods, and soft goods items, will assist Habitat in its mission to help families achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

"We are grateful for Ethan Allen's continued partnership and generous donation," said Lynda Smith, senior director of corporate relations for Habitat for Humanity International. "Beyond the fact that this was the largest donation in ReStore's history, the sale of these products allows us to do even more work to help future homeowners."

Over the last two years, Ethan Allen has donated more than 44,000 home products, valued at over $19 million.

Creating happy homes is what we do best," said Farooq Kathwari, chairman, president and CEO of Ethan Allen. "We're thrilled to help families achieve their dreams of homeownership, and we're proud to support Habitat for Humanity's work in our communities."
