Volunteer

Volunteer with ReStore
As a ReStore volunteer, you will help our staff with small projects, unloading donations, sorting deposit-eligible cans, sorting materials (lumber, small hardware, tile, tools, etc.), basic maintenance (sweeping, cleaning, organizing, etc.), or possibly cruising the corridor collecting donations in the ReStore box truck. Excellent customer service begins with a smile, and our staff will make sure that you feel comfortable and learn each task as you go.

Occasionally, we'll have a special project that comes up, like constructing a display, sorting bin tables, or painting. Every day is different, and everything you do to help is important, so we appreciate your flexibility as a volunteer!

Construction

Volunteer

If you like working with people and getting your hands dirty, help us build and repair homes! Our volunteers and supporters are the foundation of lowa Valley Habitat for Humanity. With your help, low-income families in Johnson, Cedar, lowa, Louisa, and Washington Counties can build and improve safe and affordable places to call home. Whether you are pounding nails, assisting with an event, or contributing financially, you are making a difference in people's lives!

Outreach

We are always looking for volunteers who enjoy engaging with the public and talking about the Iowa City 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 join 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 opportunities that you can assist with as well. Please contact us!
