ReStore

SHOP, DONATE, OR VOLUNTEER

 

ReStore is a home improvement store and donation center selling new and gently used furniture, appliances, home goods, building materials, and more!

 

The ReStore accepts new and gently-used donations to assist with diverting reusable household items and building materials from area landfills. It also allows community members to repair or renovate their homes at a reduced cost. This means that the store benefits the community at-large, the environment, and individual community members.

Is My Donation Tax-Deductible?

Your ReStore donation is tax deductible! Here’s how it works:
  • Keep track of your donated items. You’ll use this to report your itemized donations to the IRS when you file your taxes.
  • When you bring your donation to our store, ask for a receipt for your donation if one isn’t offered to you. The IRS requires proof that you donated the items you itemized.

Do You Accept Donations from Commercial Donors?

Yes! Our ReStore depends on your donations. If you have overstock inventory, used items or just need to clear out your warehouse, please consider us. Your donations will be sold locally and help residents improve their current homes with affordable, high-quality materials. There are multiple benefits for the business, such as clearing out unwanted and excessive inventory from your warehouse and in some circumstances, they can also claim a tax deduction.
