Examples of Acceptable Donation Items

Donate Goods

Whether you want to donate building materials or household goods, think of your Wisconsin Rapids Area Habitat for Humanity! We also accept monetary donations. :)

We are a 501(3)(c) charity, so donations to us are usually tax deductible, but check with your tax consultant to be sure.

If you want to donate building materials please contact us.

Household goods are accepted through our affiliation with the Mauston ReStore. We receive a percentage of the sales. You can arrange to have them pick up some donations for free.

Summary

The pick up driver has the right to refuse any donation in whole or in part at the time of pick up. Please understand ReStore and Habitat for Humanity are non-profit organizations and disposal fees defeat our mission. To maximize the good we do we can only accept items we think we can resell. This excludes dirty, heavily worn, and broken items. 

Thank you for your support!
