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
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 consult your financial advisor concerning the benefits.
