Just wanted to mention that it was a wonderful experience to have my furniture donation picked up by Habitat. The best part was how professional JAMIE and RYAN were during the moving of the furniture pieces. So pleasant and polite. I give them a 20 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would highly recommend this great service to any family, friends or neighbors requiring help. I am proudly displaying a lawn sign to help spread the good news. Thank you very much.

Want to give a huge shout out to the Mississauga-Halton Habitat for Humanity team. We had a scheduled pick up for a large amount of furniture and other items to donate. Austin and Jamie showed up on a very rainy Thursday and brought the sunshine with them energized, positive and happy to make this very easy for us. We were not sure everything would fit in the big truck they had, but they were working hard to fit it all in, and would come back for a 2nd load if they needed to.

Daniel, Al and Thunder also an amazing crew just happened to be passing and stopped not only to say hello, but jumped out to pitch in with moving and loading, and offered additional room in their truck.

Brilliant job all round. Such a positive experience!!

Inventory ranges from new and used items donated by the public and local businesses. I have been able to find many useful items here over the years. All of the proceeds go towards a great cause which provides affordable housing to those in need within the community. Prices range from high to reasonable, depending on the item. Staff are always willing to lend a helping hand.

Andrew at the front desk is a lovely, sincere, knowledgeable and kind young man and is such a pleasure to deal with (CEO sensibilities and a bright future ahead).
Well-run and fully stocked location with a variety of predominantly new gift and decor items, endless paint options and furniture, doors, beds, windows and appliances! Some truly great donations come through this place and now they have a clothing section to boot!

Sure they have good "intentions " but let me tell u... the prices are stupid high. If you would like to donate please do it online. There are a lot of great fb groups with ppl in need in them. Like I'm not even kidding there prices are ridiculous. Also there staff all seems a bit off. Also the things they donate are just the cap they can't sell for years it sits there. They aren't what u hoped they were. So online like I said.

I scheduled a furniture donation/pickup from Halton Habitat. I give this service a top rating. The two gentlemen, Mitchell and Chris, were polite, friendly and efficient. They worked together as a team with great communication to move some very unwieldy and heavy pieces of furniture from my second floor without a bump or a scratch. If you have stuff to donate don't hesitate to call them!

I cut my hand accidentally while shopping here last saturday and since the bleeding did not stop I approached the staff to get first aid. I was sent to an area at the back of the store where my injury was attended to.
On my way back to the main store area I was accosted by a grouchy old bearded man with glasses who very rudely asked me what do you think you're doing here in an accusatory manner. When I explained to him that I was injured while shopping, he didn't even bother to apologize for his rude accusatory manner of talking or ask if i'm okay- SHAMEFUL behavior for someone working at a place like this. Perhaps he should learn from his younger colleagues how to politely address customers or better still chose another occupation instead of tarnishing the reputation of habitat for humanity burlington

The hours are too narrow for people who work during the week. You would think if you want donations you could make it easier by being open. We wind up taking our stuff to Value village which we prefer not to but they are open and treat the customer well. Might be something to think about.

Great service, great items. Love supporting a good cause and saving money in the process. We have donated and purchased many things here over the years. Why throw it out if its in great shape and can be used b someone else. A great community organization run by great community people, go Burlington!!

I am very disappointed with the Burlington ReStore. They have clearly strayed away from their original mandate of focusing on building materials, furniture, etc. Instead it now looks like a tacky thrift store, but with much higher prices. (The furniture pricing is particularly out of wack.) Clothing seems to have replaced the kitchen cupboards that used to be plentiful. Who goes to a ReStore to buy clothes? Seems a bit unfair they are wading into this market, which many other thrift stores rely on for revenue, rather than sticking to their niche. Sadly I doubt I will return.

This place is incredible. If you haven't visited, stop in. The deals they have are incredible and it all goes to a good cause. They had an extra 20 or 30 percent off last time I was there if you took the furniture you bought right away (they were getting full and needed space). I'll be checking back here often since I'm moving to a new house, lots of opportunity to find pieces that range from kitchen cabinets to furniture, to lighting and even small trinkets and dinnerware.

Best place ever. With the loss of the reuse centre Restore fills in just perfectly. Construction materials, furniture, lighting, hell even clothing, it's an amazing mix of everything. I'm heading to to the Hamilton one right now looking for trim as this place only as this odd right angle trim.

Either way you can buy a cute light pendant, and turn it into a lovely table lamp for under $20. It's a gem.

This organization is doing a TREMENDOUS job finding ways to reuse or assist those in need. Also those creative minds that can repurpose, re-paint and re-imagine another person's old furnishings etc. The staff work tirelessly and in the heat and humidity outsude today, I respect them even more. Thank you. We donated a couch and matching chair. A separate armed chair and two large square end tables. All in reasonable condition, dated but far from end of life for someone.

A lot of donated decor and furniture at fantastic prices. Most of it is in good shape. Great if you can find something to your tastes. A little slim on parking, however. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful.

Called the location earlier in the day to confirm their hours of operation as we had some high-end laminate to donate. Was told that they are open till 6pm. I showed up at 5:20pm only to find the donation area locked up and closed. Flagged down an employee who worked in the drop-off area and was told they close the drop-off area at 5pm. Even though I had only 4 boxes of laminate which would have taken 30 seconds to unload they refused.
Drove to Value Village and they were very excited to take the flooring. Definitely the last time I am supporting Habitat for Humanity. Seems like they dont need free stuff anymore. Loss for them, win for Value Village I guess.

Friendly staff. Good merch. Great deals. I got a solid bookshelf for $20 and it looks fantastic. Plus the money goes to a good cause. Will definitely shop there again. Have already recommended to my friends.

We had to completely clear out my father's house so we contacted Habitat. There were quite a few items and we submitted photos, but we wondered if some of them were of acceptable quality. Mitchell, Connor and Chris handled the pickup and we found them very professional. They explained their process and evaluated everything we had hoped to donate. There were a couple of items they couldn't accept (beds, mattresses) but they explained why and we understood their reasoning. They showed a lot of care for the walls and the floors when they were moving things and they worked fairly fast. All in all, a good experience. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again in the future.

An overpriced rummage sale.
I'm guessing that the CEO draws down heavily.
It's a long way from what once was.

The staff and volunteers are amazing at this location. In the last while they have made some big changes with how they put stuff out. I love the way it looks , Everything is so easy to find and displayed nicely. I'm actually going there more often now

About Habitat for Humanity Halton

Habitat for Humanity Halton: Building Homes, Building Hope

Habitat for Humanity Halton is a non-profit organization that envisions a world where everyone has a place to call home. The organization believes that every person deserves a decent and affordable place to live in, and they work tirelessly towards making this vision a reality. Habitat HM is part of the larger Habitat for Humanity International network, which operates in over 70 countries worldwide.

The mission of Habitat HM is to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting homeownership as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty. The organization believes that safe, decent, and affordable housing is essential to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. By providing access to homeownership opportunities through their programs, Habitat HM aims to empower families with the tools they need to build better futures.

One of the unique aspects of Habitat HM's approach is their use of sweat equity as part of their homeownership program. Sweat equity refers to the hours that future homeowners contribute towards building their own homes or those of others in need. This approach not only helps reduce costs but also fosters a sense of ownership and pride among participants.

Habitat HM relies on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, faith groups as well as government grants to fund its operations. Volunteers are also an integral part of the organization's success; they help with everything from construction work on build sites to administrative tasks at headquarters.

Since its inception in 1999, Habitat HM has built over 30 homes across Halton Region (which includes Burlington Oakville Milton & Halton Hills) providing safe shelter for more than 100 people including children who now have stable homes where they can grow up healthy & happy.

In addition to building homes locally within our community ,Habitat HM also supports international projects through tithing - donating ten percent (10%)of all unrestricted donations received by our affiliate office directly towards supporting global initiatives such as disaster relief efforts or long-term development projects around the world.

If you're interested in supporting this worthy cause or becoming involved with volunteering opportunities please visit habitatburlington.ca/donate/ today! Your donation will go directly towards helping families achieve their dream home while creating stronger communities one family at a time!

In conclusion,Habitat for Humanity Halton plays an important role within our community by providing affordable housing solutions while empowering families through education & support services . With your help we can continue making positive changes within our local area while contributing globally too!
