About the Habitat ReStore
Discover treasures and give back to your community at the Habitat ReStore – where every purchase supports affordable housing initiatives in Glynn County. By donating new or gently used home furnishings, appliances, and construction materials, you're not only decluttering your space but also building self-reliance, stability, and strength through shelter.
At Habitat for Humanity of Glynn County, our ReStore is more than just a shop; it's a vital part of our mission to create safe, decent, and affordable homes for local families. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, your contributions directly fuel our homeownership program, making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.
Ready to make an impact? Whether you're dropping off donations or scheduling a convenient pick-up, your support is invaluable. While we graciously accept a wide range of items, please review our detailed list before donating, as we reserve the right to refuse certain items.
Located in Lanier Plaza at 1919 Glynn Ave, Units 9 & 10, Brunswick, GA 31520, our ReStore is a hub of community engagement and empowerment. Join us in our mission by volunteering your time and skills – from processing and sorting merchandise to cleaning and organizing – and experience the joy of giving back firsthand.
To donate, schedule a pick-up, or explore volunteer opportunities, contact us at (912) 265-7455 or email scheduler@habitatglynncounty.org.Together, let's build brighter futures for families in need. Thank you for your unwavering support!
