The ReStore accepts donations of new and gently-used building materials, home improvement items, and furniture and resells them to the public at discounted prices. All sales benefit Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston and are used to help low-income families build and purchase affordable homes in our area.

WE NEED YOUR DONATIONS! All donations must be pre-approved and are tax-deductable. Please e-mail photos of offered donations (be sure to include quantities and your contact information) to: ReStore@habitatboston.org. Alternatively, you may call the ReStore line at (617) 423-2223 ext. 13 and leave a message. Please wait for a response to your e-mail or phone message before making delivery arrangements. In some cases we can pick up donated items and we will contact you to make appropriate arrangements.
