Donate to the Itasca County ReStore

Why donate to the ReStore? We have a few good reasons:

1. Because you have too much stuff! We all have couches, tables, chairs, appliances, etc. that need to be moved because we don't need them anymore. What are you going to do with this stuff? Don't throw it away. We'll come pick it up, resell it and use the cash to build affordable houses. Your stuff will get recycled in a very cool way!
2. You're replacing furniture or an appliance, or moving to a new home. Congrats! It's always fun to get new things for your home. Why not pass that feeling along? Donate to the Habitat ReStore!
3. You don't have a truck! We know....it can be hard to move stuff. Here's a solution: We'll pick it up! We have a truck!
4. You want to help. We're not just trying to make you feel good. Your donations make it possible for us to build affordable houses. It's a great feeling knowing you're helping create opportunities for other people. Try it!
5. Our planet will thank you. The less we send to the landfill, the better. Generous donors like you divert MILLIONS of pounds from the landfill by donating to the ReStore. People in our community benefit from shopping here, and the Earth will love you for it.
6. It's easy! With donation pickup, we do the work for you. Just fill out the form below to inquire about a pickup, or call or email us if you have questions.

Do I get a tax receipt for donating?

Yes! Habitat ReStore is part of Habitat for Humanity and a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. All donations can receive a potential tax deduction.

Can ReStore put a value on the items I donate?

No, we cannot place a value on any donations for tax purposes. Doing so is up to the donor.
