Shop. Donate. Divert.

Everything ReStore

Habitat ReStores are non-profit home improvement stores run by local Habitat chapters. They sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, building materials and home décor — donated by individuals, builders and retailers — at a fraction of retail prices. Every purchase and every donated item helps fund Habitat's affordable homeownership work in that same community.

Funds local builds

ReStore proceeds help cover the operating costs of the local Habitat chapter, so more of every donation goes straight into building and repairing homes for families nearby.

Keeps waste out of landfill

Reusable furniture, cabinetry, fixtures and building materials are diverted from landfill each year and given a second life in someone else's home.

Makes homes affordable

Neighbours can furnish, renovate and repair their homes for less, while volunteers gain retail and warehouse experience alongside the Habitat team.

What ReStores accept

Donation guidelines vary slightly by location, so check with your local store — but these are the items most ReStores are looking for.

  • Furniture in good, resaleable condition
  • Appliances less than 10 years old and in working order
  • Cabinets, countertops, doors and windows
  • Lighting, plumbing fixtures and hardware
  • Flooring, tile, lumber and surplus building materials
  • Home décor, art, rugs and small housewares

How agents can help

Shop before you stage

Source furniture, décor and accent pieces for staging at a fraction of retail — and put the savings back into your listing budget.

Donate listing clean-outs

When a client is downsizing or renovating, a ReStore donation keeps quality items out of landfill and funds local builds. Many stores offer free pickup.

Tell your clients

Every move, renovation and downsizing conversation is a chance to point a client to their nearest ReStore — for shopping or for donating.
