Learn More About Volunteering

Our ReStore is a new kind of home improvement store that sells donated furniture, household appliances, and hardware to the public at low costs. Store proceeds support our affordable housing programs.

As a ReStore volunteer, you will help our staff with small projects, unloading donations, or possibly cruising the corridor collecting donations in the ReStore box truck. Great customer service begins with a smile and our staff will make sure that you will learn tasks as you go.

Warehouse workers

ReStore Warehouse

A volunteer shift at the ReStore may include: loading and unloading vehicles, receiving donations, sorting materials (like lumber, small hardware, tile, tools, etc.), building displays, and basic maintenance duties such as sweeping, cleaning and organizing our aisles. Occasionally, we’ll have a special project that comes up like constructing a display, sorting bin tables or painting. Everyday is a little different, and everything you do to help is important, so we appreciate your flexibility as a volunteer!

Outreach workers

Outreach

We are always looking for volunteers who enjoy engaging with the public and talking about the ReStore at various events. We ask our outreach committee members to commit to at least two events per month for six months. Events may include: Home and Garden shows, Fix-It Fairs, Art festivals, Farmers Markets, etc. We also like to take advantage of networking events, so if you enjoy meeting new people and creating relationships this would be a great opportunity for you.

If you prefer to spend time at the computer, we have a opportunities that you can assist with as well, please contact us!
