Hold a PopUp PickUp in your Neighborhood!
Cape Fear Habitat will partner with you or your HOA to coordinate a donation drive in your community, offering free ReStore pick‑ups exclusively in your neighborhood on select days.
We get to optimize driver time, fuel, and efficiency, while you and your neighbors get to unload your gently used household items!
This program is a unique opportunity for your community members to simplify their homes and support a great cause.
Simplify Remodels with Free Deconstruction!
Our fully insured Deconstruction team safely uninstalls and removes cabinets, countertops, appliances and building materials prior to your renovation or demolition project – free of charge (and free of hassle)!
All materials are then donated to your local ReStores, leaving a blank canvas for your project and generating affordable building supplies for the Cape Fear Community.
