Ways to Donate
You will receive an In-Kind donation receipt listing all of your donation items. All donations are tax-deductible and all items must be valued by you, as the donor. Legally, Habitat cannot appraise your donation(s), so all donors must fill out an estimated value for their donation(s) on the receipt. We suggest a fuel donation of $25 for each pick-up.
Please note, acceptability is at the discretion of the driver and the ReStore donation staff. Drivers and staff reserve the right to refuse building materials based on current inventory stock and condition.
We appreciate if you have your items collected on the ground level of your home for pick up.
Thank you for supporting Habitat LA!
