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.

Below is a list of what we accept.  Please keep in mind that these items will be resold to the public.  ReStore can only sell items that are in acceptable condition, so please read the list carefully.

You can bring in your donation during store hours.

(Please Note:  ReStore charges a $10 trip fee for all donation pickups to help offset our travel expenses.)
