In-Kind Giving

Donating products or services is a great way to support Habitat’s work without writing a check.

Land is the first step in building affordable houses, so we are always looking for buildable land in Buncombe County. If you have buildable land that you would consider donating to Asheville Area Habitat, please contact Director of Construction Paul Reeves at 828-210-9373 or Email preeves@ashevillehabitat.org

Contributions of new construction materials, tools, and professional services help us keep the cost of house building as low as possible. Call Construction Administrator Sumaya El-Attar at 828-210-9382 for information about what we currently need and how to donate building materials for use in Habitat homes, or Email selattar@ashevillehabitat.org

Donations of building materials, furniture, housewares, appliances, cars, boats and more can be made to our ReStore. ReStore proceeds help support our building programs and cover administrative and fundraising costs. So donate your unwanted items and you’ll be helping to build and repair homes in the community.
