We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with Lovett Deconstruction!
The focus of this partnership is on donations of salvaged materials from Lovett’s deconstruction projects to our Habitat ReStores – continuing both organization’s commitment to keeping usable items out of our local landfills.

More about this partnership
Through this partnership, quality materials carefully removed from Lovett’s deconstruction jobs—including cabinetry, windows, doors, hardware, sinks and vanities, lighting, appliances, and select lumber—are donated to the ReStore, where they are resold to the public at discounted prices to be used in future projects. Lovett salvages up to 80% of a home’s materials overall through deconstruction and recycling, and the donations are tax deductible for the homeowner. Every donation to the ReStore supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission, provides our community with access to quality materials, and diverts reusable materials from the landfill.
It’s what the circular economy looks like in practice: materials from one home getting a second life in another, with less waste and more community benefit along the way.
What is the impact of the Habitat ReStores?
The ReStores are home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, building materials, and more at discounted prices. Every purchase at a ReStore helps fund local Habitat for Humanity homebuilding and home repair programs. Habitat for Humanity Portland Region is the largest developer of affordable homes for sale in the Portland region, working with our community to build and repair more than 100 homes each year, from Gresham to Hillsboro. Additionally, the ReStores serve more than 44,000 customers and divert over 8,000 tons of reusable materials from our local landfills each year.
