Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and declutter your space. As you embark on your spring-cleaning journey, consider giving back to your community by donating gently used items to the Old Colony Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Not only will you free up space in your home, but you’ll also support a worthy cause by helping to provide affordable housing for families in need.

The ReStore is a treasure trove of second-hand goods, offering everything from furniture and home decor to building materials and appliances. By donating your unwanted items, you can help contribute to our mission of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership.

As you sift through your belongings during your spring-cleaning spree, keep an eye out for items that would be of interest to the ReStore. Here are some examples of what we typically accept:

• Furniture: Whether it’s a gently used sofa, dining table, or bedroom set, furniture donations are always welcome at the ReStore. Make sure the pieces are clean and in good condition, free of any major stains or damage.
• Appliances: Upgrading your kitchen appliances? Donate your old ones to the ReStore. We accept everything from refrigerators and stoves to washers and dryers, if they are in working condition.
• Home Decor: Sprucing up your space with new decor? Donate your gently used home decor items such as lamps, mirrors, artwork, and rugs.
• Building Materials: Have leftover building materials from a DIY project? The ReStore accepts donations of lumber, tile, flooring, and other construction materials in good condition.
• Lighting Fixtures: Replace outdated light fixtures with new ones? Donate your old fixtures to the ReStore. We accept ceiling fans, chandeliers, sconces, and more.
• Hardware: Have extra hardware lying around? Donate unused nails, screws, hinges, and other hardware. We also accept tools in good working condition.
• Outdoor Items: Sprucing up your outdoor space for spring? Donate your outdoor furniture, gardening tools, and patio décor.
• Cabinets and Countertops: If you are renovating your kitchen or bathroom, donate your old cabinets and countertops to the ReStore, if they are in good condition.

Before donating, make sure to check the ReStore’s donation guidelines or give us a call at 508-639-9577 to confirm what items are currently being accepted. Additionally, make sure your donations are clean and in good condition, as this will help maximize their resale value and support the ReStore’s mission.

In conclusion, spring cleaning is not only a great way to refresh your home but also an opportunity to give back to your community. By donating gently used items to the Old Colony Habitat for Humanity ReStore, you can help support affordable housing initiatives while decluttering your space and making a positive impact.
