Donate to the ReStore

ReStore Donations

Remodeling, cleaning, down-sizing or just getting organized? Whatever your project, don’t let the items you no longer need end up in your local landfill.

Donations made to the ReStore are tax-deductible and 100% of the proceeds support Habitat’s mission. Plus, you will keep good, reusable items in use and out of landfills. Our store receives new and gently-used donations from individuals and local businesses. Thank you for your support!

How to Donate

Donations can be dropped off at the ReStore, located at 690 Ecusta rd. Brevard.

Tuesday-Friday 9:30-4:30 & Saturdays 9:30-3:30

To schedule a free pickup of larger items, call 828-862-4663. Or complete the pickup request form and we will respond within two business days. Thank you for your donation! Your support makes it possible for Habitat to build affordable homes for low-income families currently living in inadequate housing.

Please Note: Upon inspection of your donated items, donations can only be accepted if they are in saleable condition. Thank you for your understanding!
