DROP OFF INFORMATION

Our convenient drive thru donation center makes donating a breeze and all donations are tax deductible. No appointment is necessary.

We encourage homeowners, builders, contractors, businesses and distributors to donate new or re-usable kitchen cabinets, appliances, furniture, doors, windows and building materials, as well as any inventory that is overstock or discontinued. The ReStore offers an alternative, cost-effective means for disposal of good, clean, reusable items and will provide the donor with a receipt suitable for tax deduction reporting .However…Please do not take offense when we ask questions about the items you wish to donate. We need to ensure that they are in the condition we know we can sell in the store. We do not have a repair shop, cleaning department or refinishing department.

We screen all donations and have the right to refuse items. Please call us before you make the trip to the store to donate if you are not certain that the item(s) will be accepted.

Items need to be SALES FLOOR READY and in no need of cleaning or repairs. We cannot accept items that are not clean, have broken parts or do not work, are disassembled, have loose or chipped paint, or mold. Appliances must be cleaned inside and out and in good working order for us to accept them.  You may be asked to send photos if it is not clear to us the age, condition or quantity of the items based on our discussions and/or emails. Items that appear to possibly contain lead will be refused, such as older painted doors and windows and older lighting fixtures with soldered pieces.

Please refer to the list below of accepted items, and note those that are temporarily not accepted due to current inventory levels. If you have a question as to whether your items will be accepted, feel free to call in advance – (603) 750-3200 or send an email to donate@nhrestore.org.

It is costly for us to operate our large truck so there may be items in good shape that we will not pick up, such as smaller items that can fit in a car that you could bring to the store. If we do pick up your items, they need to be in the garage or on the driveway. We do not enter the house or move items up or down stairs and we do not disassemble or disconnect items. Items must be dry; even if they are covered outside but somehow still manage to get wet, we will not be able to accept them. So please be cognizant of our situation.

PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF ANY ITEMS AFTER STORE HOURS.

This exposes the store to potential liability for injuries or property damage if items left outside the store are blown over or knocked over onto a vehicle or a person.

Also, items left that we do not sell in the store increases our trash removal costs.

TAX DEDUCTIONS

Habitat for Humanity is a not-for-profit entity and your donations are tax-deductible. Please be aware that we are not able to assign a value to any donated items. Our donor receipt includes our Federal Tax ID Number and an IRS website that will help you determine the value of your donated property.

FULL KITCHENS

For full-kitchen donations, please email photos of the kitchen before it is removed from the home to donate@nhrestore.org with a description of what is included in the donation, e.g., cabinets, countertop, sink, appliances. This helps us determine if we can accept them, determine the amount of space needed in the truck and allows us to promote them on our website.
