We partner with Habitat for Humanity ReStore for the We Love Windsor Furniture Bank. Your donations to the ReStore not only make a difference in keeping furniture, appliances and building supplies out of landfills, but they also enable us to provide furniture to our neighbours in need!

The ReStore is currently looking for couches, armchairs, dressers, armoires, fridges, stoves, microwaves, freezers, washers and dryers.

If you have any appliances that you could donate, whether they are working or not, contact Habitat for Humanity for free appliance pick up! As well, anything with a plug can always be recycled at Habitat to help minimize our landfills.
