Calling all Builders, Contractors, Building Product Suppliers & Do it yourself Homeowners…
Are you in the midst of spring cleaning? If you are not sure what to do with your good, reusable items, don’t throw them away and contribute to the landfill. Instead you can donate these items to our local Habitat ReStore! Your tax-deductible donations are sold in the ReStore at 25% to 75% of the standard retail price, and the resulting income goes directly to the support of the Habitat mission. Every year, businesses, families, individuals and builders donate home accessories and other building supplies. A little spring cleaning goes a long way when you donate to Habitat ReStore. In 2008-2009 Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity diverted 70 tons of usable building supplies and home décor items from our local landfills! We anticipate diversion of 75 tons for fiscal year 2009-2010. Please review our list of accepted donation items below, and call our office at 649-6788 to schedule a pick up! Volunteers are on staff to take your call.
Public shopping hours at the ReStore: Wednesday thru Friday 9-4, and Saturday 9-3

To Recycle and Re-Store
The Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity Re-Store is in Cottonwood, AZ. ReStores are located in many locations in our state and nationwide. Our "slightly used, new and overstocked" building material thrift store provides low cost (usually at a 50%-75% discount) building supplies for local residents, while in turn providing working capital for our building mission right here in the Verde Valley. Photos on this page will give you an idea of the type of items we sell. Many Habitat for Humanity affiliates are able to generate enough revenue through their ReStore to build 1-2 houses a year. Indeed, our ReStore is an important fund-raising component for the Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity affiliate organization. We are pleased to say that we have had great support from our local residents and businesses as we collect items for our store.
