Donations

The HomeStore sells new and used furniture, appliances, cabinets and building materials for about half of retail price.  Proceeds from the sale of these items help HfHCC to build decent, affordable homes in partnership with those in need.

The HomeStore relies on in-kind donations from private individuals, businesses, contractors and supply companies.  Most reusable building materials are accepted; check below for items we accept and don’t accept.  All items must be in good repair and in saleable condition.

All donations are tax-deductible.  A receipt for your donation is provided, however, you are responsible for declaring the value of the goods donated.

Donations can be brought to the HomeStore any Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  See map for directions.  If you need to schedule a pickup of your donation, e-mail or call 610-466-1890.
