Wayfair, an online destination for home furnishings and décor, and Habitat for Humanity International have renewed of their global partnership to help build and rehabilitate affordable homes.

The Wayfair partnership has contributed nearly $1 million over the past four years to Habitat, which works alongside homeowners to build or improve their homes. Entering its fifth year as a Habitat for Humanity partner, Wayfair will continue to provide fundraising, product donations and volunteer mobilization to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance.

“At Wayfair, we are committed to Habitat for Humanity’s mission to create safe, decent and affordable housing in partnership with individuals and families,” said Niraj Shah, CEO and co-founder, Wayfair. “Our customers are also passionate about this cause and have been highly engaged in supporting Habitat’s mission over the course of our partnership.”

Wayfair has expanded its support for Habitat over the years through a variety of initiatives including employee engagement, customer engagement and fundraising to support disaster recovery efforts. During that time, Wayfair.com customers have made more than 175,000 individual donations at checkout to help Habitat homeowner families. In addition, Wayfair has donated 12,850 pieces of furniture and décor to Habitat for Humanity ReStore resale outlets to help fund decent and affordable housing across the country.

“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Wayfair as it continues to provide support both on a corporate level and by empowering its employees, customers and influencer communities to raise awareness and funding for Habitat’s global mission,” said Colleen Finn Ridenhour, deputy director of Corporate, Foundation and Institutional Relations at Habitat for Humanity International.
