Donate Building Materials, Furniture, Appliances

Whether you have overstock, surplus, discontinued product lines, display materials,  or are involved in remodeling projects where reusable materials are being replaced with new, we may want it! Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)3 charity, so donations are tax deductible.  To see our corporate donor recognition program, follow this link.

We ask for your cooperation in donating only materials that are truly reusable. Please understand that if we feel that we cannot sell an item, we reserve the right to decline the donation, so that ReStore profits are used to build homes, and not pay for disposal fees.

The list of what we can and cannot accept changes, depending on current inventory and sales.  Please always call ahead before bringing materials to ReStore (847-742-9905) and ask to speak with our Procurement Manager Deanna Davies.  Or contact Deanna by email by clicking here.

 

Drop Off Time

We encourage you to bring your donations to ReStore anytime during our store hours.  Do not leave items outside ReStore when we are closed.  Please call the ReStore with any questions in regards to donations at (847) 742-9905 Wed-Sat.  We reserve the right to refuse any donation for any reason, please call ahead before donating.

Other Ways to Donate

In addition to building material donations, ReStore and Habitat for Humanity Northern Fox Valley could use your help in many other ways.

Donate Money


At ReStore and Habitat for Humanity Northern Fox Valley, we are grateful for monetary donations in any amount.  All donations are tax deductible.  All monies raised stay in Kane County, improving the community and the quality of life for everyone.

For information on monetary donations, contact Habitat for Humanity Northern Fox Valley Executive Director, Barbara Beckman at (847) 836-1432.

Donate Warehouse Equipment

We are in need of warehouse racking, shopping carts, retail shelving, pallet lifts, hand carts, work bench and tools.  Contact Store Manager Jeremy Keen at (847) 742-9905.

Donate Time & Expertise

These days, time is money, and we can use every minute you can give.  We are an organization that exists because of volunteers, and at the ReStore we can use your help with retail customer service, section managers (e.g, electrical, millwork, etc.), donation pick-ups, store organization, and the receiving area. We can use your expertise in retail, construction, plumbing, electrical, computer, or accounting.   And, bring your friends!  For information on volunteering, click here,  or contact the Volunteer Coordinator, (847) 836-1432.
