Donating to the ReStore reduces landfill waste and provides opportunities for community members to make purchases at reduced prices. Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible and a receipt will be provided at your request.
Since we are a functioning retail store, we’re unable to accept all donations. The items in our store must be “sellable.” This means that they a) fit our product niche, b) are not currently overstocked in the store, and c) are in working order without rips, tears, stains, odors, cracks, or missing parts. On occasion, we’re unable to accept items even if they were purchased at the ReStore. Please notify a staff member before dropping off anything. We do not accept:
- paint or stain
- TVs without RCA jacks
- mattresses without box springs
- box springs without mattresses
- blinds or curtains
- baseboard heaters
- housewares such as dishes, toys, or tchotchkes
- children’s goods such as cribs, strollers, or high chairs
- clothes
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ITEMS AT THE FRONT OR BACK DOOR!
Items left at the door without a staff member’s approval will be dumped. Dumping such items cost Habitat for Humanity almost $3,000 in 2009.
If you have any questions regarding the furniture and housing materials that we do accept, check our Shop page or call us at (307) 734-0389 or email us: restore (at) tetonhabitat.org
If you are unable to bring your donations to the store, we may be able to pick them up at no charge. Pickups are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:30 and 4:00 in the Jackson Hole area (from Kelly, to Hoback, to Teton Village). To schedule a pickup, you can call or email us. Please include your name, phone number, address, and the items we’ll be picking up. Decisions regarding whether or not we’ll accept a particular item will be made at the time of pickup.
In addition to individual pieces of donated furniture, we offer a Deconstruction service for salvaging items from demolitions and remodels. Less any dumping fees, the service is FREE; homeowners can avoid costly landfill fees and receive tax receipts for items sold through the ReStore. Though you are welcome to help us, we will have a team of trained, insured ReStore volunteers to complete the Deconstruction and load our truck. Please call us so that we can schedule an initial site evaluation to determine what can be salvaged.
