If you have any questions about our Wish List, please reach out to us at 920-458-3399 or loveinaction@habitatlakeside.com.

Our Top Wish List items right now include:

Hard Hats

Help keep our construction volunteers safe on the build site! Hard Hat Link

Hand Truck

Our ReStore team is always on the move! Help make moving furniture and large items around safer and easier by donating a hand truck for hauling. Hand Truck Link

Speaker System for the ReStore

Background music increases sales, which support our mission, and our speaker system is outdated and failing. This style has worked well in the past. Speaker System Link

Rug Rack

Rugs can take up a lot of space on the retail floor in the ReStore. Help us organize and display rugs with a hanging rug rack. Brand does not matter, and the display does not need to be large. Example Display

Disposable Plastic Cutlery and Paper Products

Forks, spoons, knives, plates, cups, and napkins are always needed for volunteer breakrooms and for events like Home Dedication Ceremonies.

Heated Seat Cover

Our ReStore box truck gets chilly during winter pickups. Help keep our Donation Ambassador warm while picking up donations in the winter. Link to Seat Cover

Beverages and Snacks for Volunteers

We keep our volunteers hydrated and energized to ensure that they can do their jobs safely and to let them know they are valued and appreciated. Needs include Gatorade, Powerade, Keurig K cups, and individually wrapped snacks of various kinds.

Ground breaking and dedication supplies

Ground breakings and dedications are important celebrations in a Home Buyer’s journey and we invite the community to join us for these. We provide beverages and a light snack, and thus we are in need of paper plates, plastic forks, paper napkins and paper towels for these events.

Raffle Baskets or Items

We have several upcoming fundraiser events and are looking for donations that will be raffled off as prizes to help us raise more funds to support our mission.
