Donate to the ReStore
Every donation of goods helps a Centre County family build a decent and affordable home.
Donate goods to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Centre County's ReStore to make a difference in our community. Your donation is tax deductible. Proceeds raised through the ReStore benefits the mission of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Centre County to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Our ReStore sells items donated from businesses and individuals in our community and help us ensure strong and stable families and communities. In addition, by repurposing furniture, appliances, and building materials our ReStore actively help reduce area landfill waste each year. That benefits us all!
What Can You Donate?
We accept new and gently used appliances, furniture, building materials, household goods and more from individuals and companies. We only accept what we can sell. There are certain items (e.g. clothing, mattresses, and bedding, stained or torn upholstered furniture, etc.) that we cannot accept due to state and local health regulations. If you're unsure about whether or not we'll take something, just call (814-353-2390, ext. 3) or email (restore@habitatgcc.org) to ask!
