Donate Remodeling Materials

Assisting customers

Donations are the foundation of Habitat’s ReStore. Donated items are re-sold to the public at discount prices to generate revenue to offset the administrative costs of Habitat for Humanity-Greater Columbus and support Habitat’s mission. Individuals who are doing home remodeling, stores, businesses, contractors, and others regularly donate new and reusable home improvement building materials to Habitat’s ReStore. If you want to help, it’s easy... here’s how:

Bring your reusable home improvement building materials or supplies to Habitat’s ReStore. We accept donations until one hour before the store closing time of 6:00 p.m. on Monday – Saturday. Our staff and volunteers are available to help you unload. Receipts for tax purposes are provided.
