Currently, furniture donations will be accepted at the discretion of staff, Wednesday through Saturday. Please call 319.294.1500 before bringing any furniture to discuss your donation.

Habitat ReStore in Cedar Rapids accepts new and gently used building materials and home improvement supplies, furniture, appliance, and general home furnishings.  We simply ask that donated items are clean and in good working order. Bring your reusable home improvement building materials or supplies down the alley to the clearly marked Donations Door on your left at Habitat ReStore.

We accept donations until 4:30 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Our staff and volunteers are available to help you unload. Receipts for tax purposes are provided.

We also offer a pickup service if you don’t have means to get these items to us! See the form at the bottom of this page.

Please review the list of items we will and will not accept for donation. If you have questions about the item(s) you wish to donate, or would like to learn more about our pickup services, call 319-294-1500.
