Want your garage back?
We’d be happy to help! We accept donations of new and gently-used items just like the ones cluttering up your garage. And all of your donations are tax-deductible.
For businesses, donating to the HabiJax ReStores is a great way to move discontinued or excess stock, deal with gently used returns and show your customers that you care about the environment and your community. Plus, we’ll pick up your donated goods, which will save you time and money.
Additionally, the HabiJax ReStores participate in the Go North Habitat for Humanity Donation Program. When you move with northAmerican, you have the opportunity to donate unwanted, gently used items to your local Habitat ReStores. Those items are then either used in newly built Habitat homes, or sold through the HabiJax ReStores, with the proceeds going to help fund builds in the Jacksonville Community. For more information visit their site.

What is a HabiJax ReStore?
In a nutshell: We accept donations of new and gently-used items from individuals and businesses. We sell those items to the public at prices well below retail. We use the proceeds to build HabiJax homes with families in need in our community and we do it all with the help of our wonderful volunteers. We need you to donate, shop, and volunteer. It’s simple, really.
What kind of things will I find at the HabiJax ReStore?
We have everything and the kitchen sink! See our shop page for a listing of all the items we carry on a regular basis. Remember, inventory changes quickly, so make sure that you shop often. If you miss a day, you just might miss a deal!

What happens if I buy something and can’t fit it in my car?
Items that are sold are held for up to three (3) business days.
What is the money raised at the HabiJax ReStore used for?
The money raised through the HabiJax ReStore is used to fund HabiJax’s mission of building homes, community and hope. We are very thankful for our shoppers, donors and volunteers who have helped families in Jacksonville realize the dream of homeownership.
Why won’t you accept certain items as donations?
Though we greatly appreciate everyone who wants to donate to the HabiJax ReStore, we are unable to accept all items. Sometimes, the reason is related to safety concerns (such as unframed glass and mirrors, lead paint, certain chemicals, etc.) and other times it is for legal reasons (such as used mattresses, baby equipment, recalls, etc.) Also, we have found that we just can’t sell certain items (such as couches that have rips and stains and appliances that are older than your grandmother). When we do end up with these types of items, nobody buys them and we end up having to pay to dispose of the things we cannot recycle, repair or clean. This takes valuable time and money. You can see our donation criteria on our donate page. On the bottom of that same page we have referrals to other organizations that might be able to accept your donations. Whether or not we can accept your donation, we truly appreciate you thinking of HabiJax.
