where to bring donations
We ask that all items you want to donate are in good condition and with no rips, holes, stains, damage or missing parts.
Your donations can be brought to our ReStore at 3731 Pacific Avenue until 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Bring items to the driveway gate on the west side of the ReStore (the side facing the auto parts store).
For larger items you cannot transport yourself, or to arrange a free pick up of your donated items that are too many for you to bring yourself, please call 503-357-1201 to schedule. HOWEVER, please note that, due to demand and staffing issues, the waiting list for pick up can be two months out.
Donations must be inspected & approved by the ReStore manager or intake supervisor before acceptance. We cannot guarantee we will accept all of your items.
Donation forms are available for tax deduction purposes.

helps a family build a decent & affordable home & helps people to stay in their homes.
The Forest Grove Habitat for Humanity ReStore welcomes donations from individuals, businesses, churches, and civic groups of new or used building materials, home furnishings, and home products.
Keeping in mind that we resell the items that come into the ReStore, to fund the programs of Habitat for Humanity here in Western Washington County. Therefore, we ask that donations are in good condition. Please consider the quality of the items you donate.
We often refinish, clean, and restore pieces to add value and keep them out of the community waste cycle. We are dedicated to helping the community and the earth.
