The process of estate clearing begins with sorting through the belongings of a cherished friend or family member, deciding what to keep, what to donate, and what to discard. This can be an emotional journey, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. By donating items to the Old Colony Habitat ReStore, you’re not only disposing of these items, but also providing essential funds for the organization’s mission of helping families build a place to call home.

The ReStore accepts a wide variety of items, including furniture, appliances, building materials, lighting, holiday decorations, and home décor. Each donation is a step towards creating a stable and secure home for families who are striving to improve their lives. As you sift through cherished memories, consider how these items can serve a greater purpose. Used furniture can become a comfortable seat for a local family with limited funds.  A set of dishes could be the start of new traditions for those who have faced hardship. Every donation made to the ReStore has the power to transform lives, providing hope and stability for those in need.

The funds generated from the sale of donated items directly contribute to the construction of homes, making an estate cleanout not just a personal task, but a community effort. Moreover, the act of donating also aligns with sustainable practices, helping to reduce waste and promote recycling. Instead of items ending up in landfills, they can be given new life and purpose through the ReStore. This commitment to sustainability is a core value of Old Colony Habitat for Humanity, reinforcing the idea that we can all play a part in creating a better world, one donation at a time.

Cleaning out an estate is more than just a physical task; it is an opportunity to give back to the community and support a noble cause. Whether you are helping a loved one, a realtor helping your client, or supportive neighbor, please consider supporting our mission. By donating to the Old Colony Habitat ReStore, you are helping to build homes and support families in need. Your contributions make a tangible difference, helping families achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better future.
