Thank you for considering volunteering at the Habitat ReStore!

Donations Dock Coordinator - If you enjoy working with people, this is the position for you! The Donations Dock Coordinator accepts donations directly from drop-off donors and educates customers on what we accept and do not accept to maintain a high quality of sellable goods.
When: Tuesday – Saturday (am shift and pm shift)
Where: Wendover ReStore, Wilkinson ReStore

Book Lover/Book Section Assistant - Our book section (housed in Julia's Coffee at the Wendover Rd location) just underwent an expansion, and we have a lot of book shelves! We're looking for folks to sort donated books, learn our pricing system, keep the section organized, and separate the jewels from the junk. This position is currently filled.

Julia’s Coffee Barista – Julia’s Café needs your help! We are searching for a temporary volunteer barista on Tuesday mornings and both the morning and afternoon shifts on Thursdays. Experience in a coffee shop is not needed, just a friendly face with a knack for customer service!  This position is currently filled.
When: Tuesday mornings, Thursday morning shift and afternoon shift
Where: Wendover ReStore

Furniture Repair Volunteer - A wobbly leg or scratch can mean the death of an otherwise great donation. With a little attention (repair, refinishing, etc) these items can not only help raise funds for Habitat, they can also be rescued from unnecessarily cluttering our landfills. We're looking for someone to help provide some TLC to our furniture.
When: Tuesday – Saturday (anytime)
Where: Wendover ReStore

Fan Repair Volunteer - If you are interested in increasing your electrical knowledge and like to work with your hands, then this is the position for you! An experienced Fan Repair Volunteer will be available for training. Experience is not required – just a desire to learn! Choose your own projects based on your ability.
When: Tuesday – Saturday (anytime)
Where: Wendover ReStore

Website Content Specialist/ReStore Reporter - Do you have a knack for writing short, catchy articles? Write short (500 words or less) articles to be posted on the ReStore website! Topics will be ReStore-related, from how-to articles to profiles of our special events. We will have some story suggestions for you, but you can also come up with your own ideas! This volunteer position can largely be accomplished from your home computer, with an occasional need to come in for research and interviews. This position is currently filled.

Metal Recycling Project Assistant - The ReStore is starting a Metal Recycling Project in order to maximize our proceeds and minimize waste. You wouldn't believe the amount of appliances we receive that don't actually work! We need folks to help remove metal components (faucets, disposals, drains, etc) from donations that cannot be resold, and sort them according to the type of metal. No skills required, just a willingness to learn!
When: Tuesday – Saturday (am shift and pm shift)
Where: Metal Recycling Center

Metal Recycling Mr./Ms. Fix-It: This position is perfect for volunteers who love working with appliances, including washers and dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, ovens, and stoves. This volunteer will assist staff in testing appliances to assess their condition and repairing those that can be sold at our ReStores.
When: Tuesday – Saturday (any time)
Where: Metal Recycling Center

Volunteer Truck Driver: These volunteers assist the Habitat truck drivers in picking up donations and delivering them to the ReStores. Volunteers will assist the drivers in safely and efficiently removing donated items from homes and businesses onto the trucks to be offloaded at the ReStores.
When: Monday – Saturday (8 hour shift)
Where: Wendover ReStore and Wilkinson ReStore

Retail Staff Assistant - With donations coming in daily, the backroom can get pretty full. This volunteer role helps sort, clean, and prepare donated items to be priced.  After the staff prices them, we take them out to the sales floor.  You never know what's coming in, and you'll be the first to see the incredible stuff that people donate - from basic couches and sinks to jet skis and church pews!
When: Tuesday – Saturday (am shift and pm shift)
Where: Wendover ReStore and Wilkinson ReStore

Cashier Extraordinaire/ Customer Service Pro - The front register staff are the first people a shopper sees at the ReStore.

When: Tuesday – Saturday (am shift and pm shift)
Where: Wilkinson ReStore, limited shifts available at Wendover ReStore

Email or call the volunteer coordinator to be added to the Special Events list, and we will contact you when an event is approaching to give you the details and let you know how we need your help!
