It is springtime in Chattanooga and for most this means remodeling, spring-cleaning and garage sales. As families are conducting home improvement projects, decluttering their homes or hosting garage sales, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area is encouraging them to donate unwanted items to Habitat’s ReStore.
The ReStore operates as a retail store, accepting donations of new and gently used household, furniture and building items from individuals and businesses in the community.
These goods are then sold to the public at a reduced cost, usually 50 – 70% of the original price. All proceeds help Habitat for Humanity build new and affordable homes for deserving Chattanooga families to purchase with a zero-interest mortgage.
Some suggested items to donate to the Restore include:
Cabinets
Working Appliances
Furniture (indoor and outdoor)
Houseware and Home Décor Items
Building Materials
Flooring/New Carpet
Tools
Garden Equipment
Donations are accepted Tuesday thru Friday from 9 am – 5 pm and on Saturdayfrom 9 am – 4 pm at Habitat’s ReStore located at 1150 E. 14th Street. The ReStore offers a complimentary pick up service. To schedule a donation pick up following your day of spring-cleaning or garage sale, call the ReStore at 423 634-1004 or visit restorechattanooga.com.
