Donation Center is open: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm. Please wait for ReStore personnel to discuss your donations. The Donation Center will close in periods of high heat or excessive wildfire smoke.

We do not have a residential pickup service, but we do have a pickup partnership. For more information click on the donation button with the moving truck on our website www.foothillshabitat.org.

Acceptable donations can be delivered to us during normal business hours, no appointment is required. When you arrive, a donation team member will review the donation criteria with you. Donated items must be clean, complete, and in good functioning and sellable condition. Below are two lists. One list has donations and criteria for donations we accept. The second list has donations that we do not accept. Please read both lists as there may be cross-references. For example, sinks appear on the acceptance list. However, we do not accept pedestal sinks or cast-iron sinks, that information is on the decline list. For questions about a donation, please call the ReStore donation line at 916-797-8674 or email  restore@surewest.net.
