Donate home improvement supplies and help break the cycle of incarceration

At Community Warehouse (CW), we rely heavily on the generosity of our donors to support our mission of helping formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society. One way that our donors contribute to our cause is by donating new home improvement supplies and household goods.

How we use donations

Donated items are sold at our two home improvement stores located at 521 S. 9th Street and 4119 W Green Tree Road in Milwaukee. We sell these products at a fraction of the retail price, making them affordable for people of all income levels. The sales of these products help fund our initiatives, including our Partners In Hope program, which provides reentry services, job training, and employment support for formerly incarcerated individuals.

Donation Guidelines

We accept a variety of new home improvement supplies and household goods, including:

Doors
Windows
Floor Tile
Carpeting

We also accept overstock and excess inventory from businesses and will help with office clean-outs.

You can donate items in person at our two home improvement stores.
