ReStore
What is a ReStore?
Our ReStore sells donated furniture, appliances, building materials, and home goods at low cost, and all proceeds go directly toward our mission. When you donate to Habitat for Humanity of Southern Ocean County’s ReStore, you’re doing more than clearing space — you’re raising funds that help local families build safe, affordable homes.

How to Donate
Scheduling a Pickup:
-
We offer free pickups Wednesday–Saturday for furniture items.
-
All items must be on the first floor or in the garage. Our team cannot pick up items that require going up more than a few steps.
-
To request a pickup, please send photos of your items to restore@hfhsoc.org along with the pickup address and contact information. This helps our team assess whether we can accept them.
-
At the time of pickup, our drivers make the final determination on what can be accepted.
Donation Drop Off:
-
We accept donations on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at our ReStore location (668 Main St. West Creek, NJ).
-
Please follow the arrows to the back of our building. Staff and volunteers will be around back to help unload.
Habitat for Humanity of Southern Ocean County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations to the ReStore are tax-deductible. We’ll provide a donation receipt upon drop-off or after pickup.

To serve our community and ensure resale, donated items must meet these standards:
-

Clean: free of stains, odors, pet hair, mildew, fading, or water damage
-
Smoke-free: Items from smoking homes cannot be accepted

No major repairs required; items should be ready to display or sell
Our ReStore team reserves the right to refuse items not meeting these criteria at drop-off or pickup. This helps us reduce waste and maximize the funds that go toward building homes.
