Materials generously donated will be transported to Comal County Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where they will be available for purchase by the community. The revenue garnered from these sales plays a vital role, as it is channeled directly into funding our mission – to provide sustainable and affordable housing with individuals and families in need. By choosing to donate, you are not only providing resources for the ReStore but also actively participating in the transformation of lives through the empowerment of homeownership.
You will receive an In-Kind donation receipt listing all of your donation items. All donations are tax-deductible and all items must be valued by you, as the donor.
