donate stuff to ReStore
The Habitat ReStore provides an opportunity in the community for individuals and companies to donate a wide variety of building materials, furniture, appliances, household goods and more that can be resold and reused at an affordable price. This diverts reusable materials from the landfill, and allows donors to contribute to a great cause. If you are considering moving, downsizing, decluttering, or trying to find a solution for your overstock inventory and write-offs for your business, ReStore is the place to go
Your donation to ReStore helps Habitat bring communities together to help families build strength, stability, and independence through affordable homeownership. Our donors also have the option of receiving a charitable tax receipt for the assessed value of their donation.
