Don’t dump it! Donate it to the ReStore!

By Heidi Lai, Habitat Volunteer

Do you have old furniture lying around the house? Maybe you have a rug, or a lamp, or a door that’s been left, propped up in the garage? Or perhaps you dived into cleaning out the house over the weekend, and discovered a bucket full of unused hardware and tools. Before throwing anything out, think first of the ReStore. Many families in need in your local community could benefit because of you.

The ReStore works directly with Habitat for Humanity, which builds houses for low-income families in the local community. In fact, 100% of the proceeds go directly to helping build houses for families. The ReStore depends on people like you to donate their old home improvement items, which will then be sold up to 50% off to the public, or used directly into the building of families’ homes. You may not think your home improvement items are worth much, but they’re worth a lot to the ReStore. It could mean everything to a family in need.

The ReStore accepts a variety of home improvement items. Chances are, what you have, the ReStore will gladly take. And to make it all even easier, all your donations are tax-deductible. You are only a drive away from helping others in need. You have two, extremely easy and convenient options. You can either drop off your donations at the ReStore - 25948 Business Center Dr. Redlands, CA 92374 - during its opening hours of 9am-6pm, or give the ReStore a call to schedule a FREE pickup (909) 799-6738. Shawn, our donation pickup employee, will be more than happy to pick up your donations.

GET TO KNOW SHAWN!

Shawn is an outgoing guy who would love to pick up your wonderful donations. He loves the outdoors, and has a family of two kids (with one on the way!), two cats, and two dogs. He enjoys spending time with his family, especially by going to rodeos with them. Shawn describes working at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore as “a lot of fun.”  He “enjoys working with (his) co-workers and all the volunteers in the ReStore.” And Shawn knows the impact his job has on the community. “It is great to know that all the work I do in the ReStore is helping families in need in our community,” he said honestly. Shawn would love nothing more than for you to send some donations his way!

The ReStore depends on donations. If you want to see more low-income households receive homes, and more change in the community, please donate!
