Whether you're experienced or just eager to help, we welcome volunteers of all skill levels! We offer a variety of projects both indoors and outdoors, including painting, drywall installation, raking, and building ramps. Your support is essential in helping us create and preserve safe, affordable homes in our community.
ReStore Volunteers

ReStore volunteers play a vital role in supporting our mission by helping in a variety of ways. Whether sorting and organizing donations, assisting customers, or managing store displays, your efforts help raise funds for homebuilding projects while promoting sustainability. No matter your experience level, your time and dedication make a lasting impact in our community. We ask that our ReStore volunteers commit to a schedule of at least 4 hours per week. This is a wonderful volunteer option for retired people who enjoy social engagement and helping others.
