About Re-Source York
OUR MISSION:
To advance environmental and social responsibility through the sale of used home goods and building materials while supporting job readiness and resources for our community.
Re-Source York, founded in 2001, is a nonprofit organization operating retail stores to sell donated building supplies and home furnishings to the public, providing jobs for people needing vocational support, and contributing financial support of emergency homeless services for York County families.
Our home improvement store – packed with everything from nuts, bolts and hinges to windows, doors, bathroom fixtures and full kitchen cabinet set-ups – is a first stop for anyone with a DIY or professional renovation project on the horizon.
Our home goods store is the place to shop when searching for home décor. You can find couches and chairs, dressers, desks, and tables, bed frames, dinnerware and glassware, and all sorts of tchotchkes, toys, wall art, books and games.
In addition to bringing significant savings to our greater York area family of customers, Re-Source York is committed to our long-standing partnership with Bell Socialization Services. Re-Source supports Bell in two ways: by making quarterly financial contributions that directly support Bell Family Shelter and by employing participants in Bell’s vocational rehabilitation program who are looking to restart their work lives in a supportive environment.
How Re-Source York Works
— 01 —
First, we accept donations of materials, furniture, supplies, appliances and more from the community, keeping reusable goods out of our landfills.
— 02 —
Then, our team cleans and sorts everything into two stores for resale – Home Improvement or Home Goods. The donated items are sold at a fraction of the cost of big box stores and makeup 97% of Re-Source York’s income. We help our customers discover a diamond in the rough turning discarded items into treasures.
— 03 —
Each month, a portion of sales from each location is set aside to donate to Bell Socialization Services, specifically designated to Bell Family Shelter, where it empowers York County families experiencing homelessness.

FAQs
When do you accept donations?
Always during our open hours! Please make sure a team member is present to accept your item(s); we’re happy to help if we can!
How do you price your items?
Along with pricing guides, we use a sliding scale to price items depending on their quality, condition, age, and size. In general, most items in our stores are 30-50+% off of what you’d spend at a big box store.
Is your pick-up service free?
Yes, most items qualify for free pick-up. Your item(s) must first fit our criteria for resaleable donations. Before we schedule your pick-up, we’ll make sure to qualify your item(s), and a final determination will be made by the pick-up team.
How do I schedule a pick-up?
See our Donate page for more information.
Are you accepting volunteers?
Yes, all year long! Feel free to stop in or call to discuss with us what opportunities you’re looking for. Basic store maintenance all the way to small item repair are just a few of our regular needs. You can also learn more about volunteering here.
How can I learn more about your current stock?
Our inventory changes daily so the best way to find out what we have is to stop in our stores! We sometimes share neat items on our Facebook page. You’re always welcome to call our stores to ask, too! Although we may not be able to provide specific details & measurements on our products, we welcome you to our stores with further assistance and even a tape measure!
Do you purchase items/consign?
No, we do not. All items are accepted as donations.
