Donate To The ReStore

Restore, Habitat for Humanity Waterloo

Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region owns and operates two ReStore outlets for you to explore and donate your building supplies, appliances, and even tools to, with the proceeds going directly to helping our next partner family build their dream home.

Ways to Donate

1. Drop off your donation at your local ReStore.

Drop-offs can only be done during store hours. Please check ReStore locations for hours of operation ›

2. Schedule a FREE donation pick-up.

For your larger or multi-item donations, request a donation pick-up with our easy online donation form. We receive a high number of requests for donation pick-ups and therefore not all will qualify for the service. We will notify you once we have reviewed your submission.

Check our list of accepted items below for details or get in touch.

The team lead was very accommodating in terms of timing, the team that came to take it down was just as nice and courteous, and the removal was free of charge. Thanks for helping us remove our old kitchen! The tax receipt, once it was sold, was a nice bonus!"
    Joseph Fung - Kitchen Salvage Customer
