Other Ways to Give

Donate to the ReStore

Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a retail outlet where quality used and surplus building materials are donated by individuals, businesses, contractors, and other organizations who wish to show their support for Habitat. Products are then sold at below retail prices. Proceeds from ReStore help fund the Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity mission of eliminating poverty housing within our community. By donating materials to the ReStore you not only help assist in the building of a Habitat home but also reduce the amount of materials sent to the local landfill. ReStores keep over 950 tons of materials out of the landfill each year.

A Habitat for Humanity affiliate program, the mission of the ReStore is to:

• Provide additional funding to support the affiliate’s house-building goals.
• Expand opportunities to serve a broader base of the low income community by providing low income materials.
• Divert Construction and household materials from the landfills & protect the environment.

Stock Donations

While time, money and housing supplies are the most common donations to Habitat, there are several other ways to give as well, including donating your stocks.

This is a fast and simple process which can be done through an electronic transfer, or certificates can be donated through the mail.

Donations of stocks allows us to ensure that even more families have a safe, affordable place to call home. The housing crisis presents an ever-growing need, and we use everything at our disposal to respond.

Stock donations are tax wise because a gift of stock generally offers a two-fold tax savings.

• First, you may avoid paying capital gains on the increase in your stock’s value.
• Secondly, you may receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of donation.

Please contact us with any questions you have about donating your stocks or bonds. You can reach us at (801)263-0136 x 3, or by email at .

Thank you for joining us in our work to help families build strength, stability and independence through shelter. Everyone deserves a decent place to live, and everyone can do something today to make that possible for another family.

Please consult your financial advisor concerning the benefits.
