Donating to Habitat ReStore is a true win/win for our community. By donating your new or used building materials, tools, furniture or appliances to ReStore you help create a sustainable income for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Louisville. At the same time, you help keep usable materials from our landfill, earn a tax donation for the fair market value of your donation, and create sweat equity opportunities for our Partner Families.
Making a donation to Habitat ReStore is easy. You can bring your donation to us during store hours, or you can simply give us a call at 636-2419 to schedule a donation pick-up. Please note, ReStore charges $10 for residential pick-ups to help offset the costs of this service.
Many of the items we pick-up are large and cumbersome. Don't let that worry you, our skilled donation crew willl come into your house and carry items out for you.
