Build a better future with your in-kind donations
Something amazing happens when families move into their Habitat for Humanity homes: their lives transform for the better.
By donating excess construction or building materials or new stock, you help us build more affordable homes, reduce construction costs, and ensure families in need have access to high-quality, safe housing in Canada.
Your building materials don’t just go into homes — they become part of something bigger.
What you can donate
Do you have excess inventory or new stock to donate?
We welcome a variety of building materials, including:
- appliances
- cabinetry
- drywall
- electrical supplies
- flooring
- HVAC, heat pumps
- insulation
- lumber
- plumbing supplies
- power tools
- siding
- windows and doors
If your building stock or materials are available in multiple regions or in enough quantity to support more than one build site, we can work with you to distribute them nationally. Smaller-scale donations may be ideal for a local build site or a nearby Habitat ReStore. Either way, we are happy to guide you in the right direction.

Recognition and benefits for your business
Your generosity deserves recognition. As a Habitat Build Gift-in-Kind donor, your company can receive:
- social media recognition, including acknowledgement as a regional or national donor
- brand visibility on build sites, from fencing to house wraps
- business acknowledgement letters for your records
- sponsorship agreements to outline our partnership
Every year, more than 15,000 Habitat volunteers use products donated by companies like yours to construct homes across Canada. That’s thousands of people who will see, use, and appreciate your products — a boost to your brand awareness and customer loyalty.
Every brick builds a brighter future
Families who partner with Habitat experience improved financial stability, better health, and greater educational opportunities for their children. As they thrive, so do the communities around them.
By partnering with Habitat, your company will be part of a movement that is building stronger families, healthier communities, and a more productive Canada.
“Gift-in-kind donations are extremely important to our Habitat. We feel better knowing we are using reliable products donated by companies that are dedicated to our cause. Donated materials don’t just build homes — they build strength in our communities.”
