Donating Materials

All proceeds from the Habitat ReSTORE help to fulfill the Habitat for Humanity of Hall County’s mission to partner with working families, sponsors, and communities to build affordable, quality homes and to provide support services that promote successful home purchase and ownership. The Habitat ReSTORE offers an alternative source for affordable home improvement items, appliances, furniture and garden items in Hall County.
All donations must be in excellent physical and working condition whether new or gently used. (For example, appliances must be less than 10 years old and furniture should have no rips, tears or stains). Building contractors and individuals can contribute items from remodeling and construction sites that would often end up wasting away in a landfill.
