Volunteer at the ReStore and Help Us Achieve Our Mission
All proceeds from ReStore sales support Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building affordable homes in partnership with working families in our local community. In addition to helping build homes, community, and hope, ReStore purchases help keep tons of usable materials out of landfills.
Volunteers like you help us achieve our mission by keeping our store operations running smoothly. Volunteers create a unique, fun, easy-going, creative work environment that encourages our customers to keep coming back. We are truly thankful for everyone who has helped us along the way.
We can find valuable work for nearly all skill levels. If you have the compassion and dedication to improve your community, we’d love to hear from you.
Are you someone who would like an ongoing volunteer opportunity? Please sign up for a volunteer day below, and when you come in on your scheduled day, talk to ReStore Director Mark Auterio about ongoing ReStore volunteer opportunities.
Sign Up to Volunteer:- We need ReStore volunteers Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9:30 am to 5pm.
- Submit a Volunteer Application to schedule your volunteer day!
- You will be contacted within a few days with a confirmation and details.
- Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.
What to Expect on Your Volunteer Day:
Every day at the ReStore is a little different, and everything you do to help is important, so we appreciate your flexibility as a volunteer!
Your volunteer assignments at the ReStore may include:
- loading and unloading vehicles
- receiving donations
- sorting materials (like lumber, small hardware, tile, tools, furniture, etc.)
- creating store displays
- performing basic maintenance duties such as sweeping, cleaning and organizing our aisles
Occasionally, we’ll have a special project that comes up like sorting bin tables, reupholstering furniture, or painting.
We need volunteers on a regular basis, and are particularly interested in volunteers able to make a regular, recurring time commitment. Returning volunteers help us train new volunteers and keep the ReStore running smoothly. Come try a day and then let our ReStore Volunteer Coordinator know if you're interested.
What to Wear / What to Bring:- All volunteers must wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes. No exceptions.
- Wear work clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.

- Bring a good sense of humor and flexible attitude, as we have come to expect the unexpected!
