kitchen salvage
program
our new kitchen salvage program offers a sustainable solution for your next kitchen renovation project! instead of discarding your kitchen items, donate them to the Habitat ReStore — we’ll even pick up your donation for free.
and the best part? you get a charitable tax receipt in exchange for your qualified donation!
