ReStore FAQ

ReStore-Donation-FAQ-770-420

What happens with my donation? Does it go into a home built by Habitat?

Material donations are not used in Habitat built homes. Instead, our ReStores sell them at 40 – 80% below regular retail prices to the public.

The ReStores generate a valuable revenue stream that enables Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta to build more affordable homes. Your donation also helps reduce the costs of home-improvement for other homeowners in the Southern Alberta community.

Do the ReStores repair donated items and materials?

Our Sunridge Way location in Calgary has an onsite technician that inspects all donated appliances to ensure they are in working condition for our customers.

While our team inspects the appliances and does minor repairs, we do not have the resources to repair items. This is why we can only accept lightly used donations that are in good, working condition.

How soon can you come pick-up my donation?

Pick-ups are scheduled Tuesday through Sunday. On average we schedule about 1-2 weeks in advance and sometimes longer during the busier season.

Our goal is to accommodate your donation as best as possible, and we may be able to make exceptions to our timeline. We appreciate your patience as we work with you to fit your donation into our scheduled routes.

What happens if I need to cancel my pick-up?

If you have to cancel or re-schedule a donation pick-up, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance so that we can accommodate other donors.
