Lorain County Habitat for Humanity's COVID-19 Response

We'd like to thank the community for their continued support of Habitat during this time of uncertainty.  To make sure you are safe shopping, donating, and volunteering at our ReStore we have implemented the following changes:

Donations

  • Donation pick-ups will be for large items only; appliances, cabinets, and furniture.
  • In order to protect our workers, our truck drivers will no longer enter the donor's home to pick up their items.  All donations must be no-contact curbside pickups.  Items can be left on the porch, driveway, garage, and/or lawn.
  • All donations of clothing and housewares must be brought to the store and sorted by the donor. 
    • Bins will be placed outside the store and items will be quarantined for no less than 72 hours before volunteers and staff clean, price, and shelve them.
  • Due to limited space while quarantining items, we may not be able to accept donations every day.  
    • Drop-off donations will not be accepted during inclement weather because the items will be damaged if left outside in our sorting bins.
    • If the donation bins are not out, we are not accepting donations at that time.  Please do not leave donations outside our store when we are closed.

ITEMS NOT ACCEPTED FOR DONATION: 
  • Non-Working Appliances & Electronics
  • Tube Televisions & Tube Computer Monitor. 
  • Chemicals & Paint
  • Unframed Mirrors
  • Single Pane Windows
  • Homemade/Crafts/Art.

Shopping

Picture
​

  • At-risk guest shopping hours will be each Thursday from 10-11 AM.  We encourage other guests to plan their shopping trips around this time frame.
  • Masks and face coverings are strongly recommended as they reduce the distance that air particles can travel, but they will not be mandatory.  ​
  • ​​Shoppers, staff, and volunteers should maintain a 6 ft. distance from others while shopping and working.
  • Shoppers, staff, and volunteers are encouraged to stay home if they are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
  • Our public bathrooms will be closed. 
  • Hand sanitizer stations will be posted at the front of the store and at the register.
  • Our ReStore will limit the number of customers inside to no more than 100 people at a time. 
  • We encourage customers to pay with credit/debit if they are able to reduce the additional contact required to pay with cash.  This is not mandatory, but just a recommendation.
  • ReStore staff will no longer assist with loading customer vehicles.  Please make sure you bring a helping hand if you plan to purchase any large or heavy items.
