How to Donate Storm Windows in Minnesota
If you're replacing your old storm windows and you're not sure of what to do with them, consider donating them to a Habitat ReStore. A Habitat ReStore accepts donations of new and used building supplies and home items, and re-sells them at more than half the cost of the retail price. The proceeds from the ReStore support Habitat for Humanity in building homes for people in need. Donating to a Habitat ReStore is simple, and having 10 Habitat ReStore sites in Minnesota makes it very convenient.
