On occasion, we must refuse donations based on their condition and whether or not we have enough floor space for them at that time. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself if you would buy the item from a resale store — if you wouldn't, chances are that someone else wouldn't. We
No. We ask for donations to be in good, working condition, ready to be sold as-is.
Absolutely! You will be provided a donation receipt that you can use for tax deduction purposes. Please note that Habitat cannot legally determine a value for your items.
By selling new and gently used donated products at a discounted price, the ReStores generate funds that are used by Habitat for Humanity in our efforts to build homes, communities, and hope throughout San Diego County. Funds support our construction and repair projects and a small percentage helps pay for basic office expenses.
All materials used to build Habitat homes are purchased new. Items donated to the ReStore are sold to the public — at a great price — to generate money to purchase building materials that future Habitat homeowners use to build the new homes they will buy!
Please refer to our list of acceptable donations here. Please note that we do not accept mattresses, box springs, soft goods such as clothing or linens, or dishwashers.
Drop off hours for all three ReStore locations are Tuesday through Saturday between 9am and 3pm.
