Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County

ReStore Logo

The Habitat ReStore is a Discount Home Improvement Center that sells quality new and previously owned goods at discounted prices. Most items are donated by local individuals and companies to Habitat. The products are offered at low ReStore prices.

Proceeds from the ReStore go to Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County to build more affordable homes for families in Santa Barbara County.

The ReStore is open by appointment only. Please contact us for an appointment.
Drop by hours, Thursdays 1:00PM to 4:00PM

Habitat for Humanity is committed to sustainability and being environmentally friendly. In our design and building practices we have a strong emphasis on energy conservation, following green building guidelines. In our last project, over 15% of the materials used were recycled from donations to the ReStore.

By making a donation of your usable building materials that are in good condition, you will:

Be environmentally responsible

21 percent of our landfill is made up of building materials. Let's recycle instead!

Help low-income families

Careful deconstruction and segregation of good usable materials can be a win-win proposition. We will use the materials in our home building projects, or sell them at deep discounts to the public.

Save on construction overhead

Overages from one job or items that are the wrong size or color are costly to store and handle, why not donate them to Habitat.

Get a tax deduction for your donation

We provide a receipt and a letter which allows you or your client to report up to the full value of the donated item to the IRS. Please consult a tax professional or review the IRS rules on donating items for details.

Note:

Donated items must be in usable condition, no disabling damage, nonfunctioning components, or excessive dirt or other visible lack of maintenance/upkeep. Windows must be dual glazed, doors must be solid core. Email us Restore@sbhabitat.org or call our office 805-692-2226 to review your items and see what we can accept. We accept lumber, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, windows, doors and other architectural salvage. We do not accept carpet, furniture or appliances that are more than 2 years old.

Habitat’s ReStore has a constantly changing inventory of great building materials that can be purchased at a fraction of their original cost. Proceeds help fund the construction of new Habitat homes.
