Donations

Lancaster/Northumberland Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Your donations are tax deductible and 100% of your contributions stay here in Lancaster and Northumberland Counties.

The cost of completing a Habitat house has increased substantially in the last two years. Habitat’s mission is based on the idea that everyone deserves a safe and decent place to live, and partner families are selected based on need and their willingness to participate in the building process, building “sweat equity” and investing in their own future. Habitat project houses are completed mainly with volunteer help, under the supervision of construction professionals.

In addition to the grants we apply for, L/NHH welcomes donations of cash, material donations to the ReStore, donated cars through the Cars for Homes program and estate gifts.  To help a family achieve homeownership, volunteer at a build site, or contribute time or items to the Restore at 460 North Main Street, Kilmarnock, call (804) 435-3461 or visit lnhabitat.org.

  • Cash – Let’s be honest, there is no substitute for cash.  We accept cash (in The ReStore only), checks, reoccurring payments through PayPal, and credit card contributions by clicking the button below.
  • Shop and Donate – Shop at The ReStore, 460 N. Main St., Kilmarnock, VA 22482.

From a Recent Donor – The three gentlemen who arrived to retrieve our couch yesterday morning were absolutely wonderful. We greatly appreciated their courteous, kind, and considerate assistance.  While here, I also asked if they’d be interested in three other pieces of furniture, all solid wood: an antique rocking chair, a pine side table, and a vintage coffee table. They decided those would be helpful to y’all’s mission, too, so you may find you have more donations than you expected! LOL!

  • Planned Giving – Your gift through your will, trust, or other account will be your personal legacy of building a world where everyone has a decent place to call home.
  • Cars for Homes – We welcome cars, RVs, motorcycles, boats, farm and construction equipment.  Call 877-277-4344 or click the Cars for Homes button below for more information.

 

From a Recent Car Donor – I am a grandmother pushing 87 years of life lived. A child during WWII in Vienna, Austria I witnessed the destruction of many homes, including my own cherished room with its pink furniture and a potbellied gas stove. Helping to construce a home for somebody to start building happier memories will bring much joy to my heart. 

  • Real Estate – We accept real estate contributions that can be used as a new home building site.  Donating property is easy! Habitat handles all required paper work and pays all transfer fees, recording fees and appraisal costs.  Donating real estate is tax deductible.  For more information about donating land, please contact Sandra Baxter (804) 435-3461.
