Why donate to the Lakeshore ReStores?

Environment

Donating household goods like furniture and appliances helps the environment. Every item donated to the Holland or South Haven ReStore means less useable material thrown in a landfill.

Community

It’s good for the community: Every ReStore purchase helps local families thrive through Lakeshore Habitat for Humanity’s Homeownership Program.

Tax-Deductible

While your donation helps provide homes for others, for you it's tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

It's Easy!

Free pick-up makes donating simple! Call or submit a pickup request online for a free pickup of your large donations.

What can be donated to the Lakeshore ReStore?

All items must be in good condition so that they can be resold. The Lakeshore ReStore reserves the right to refuse any item. If you don’t see an item on either list, or if you have a donation question, please contact us. We accept cars, boats, trucks, and RVs too!
