At the ReStore, we sell donated new and used QUALITY surplus building materials, appliances, furniture, home and garden items at a fraction of retail prices.  Your donations fund the work of Habitat for Humanity in YOUR community.

Our drop-off bay is manned by volunteers and trainees please be patient with us. Please observe the following guidelines:

• We generally accept new and used building materials, appliances, furniture, home and garden items

• Please be advised that some items normally accepted can occasionally become overstocked and may not be accepted from time to time.
• We offer tax receipts for items based on resale value. Only items valued at over $50 are eligible for a tax receipt.
