Habitat ReStore Volunteer

The ReStore is a building material and home goods thrift store that functions as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. The ReStore is open Tuesday-Saturday from 8:30 am-4 pm.

Volunteers here will help with donations, pricing items, getting them on shelves, cleaning, helping customers, and so on. It is a fun place to volunteer and is much more than the typical retail environment.

THE FOUR PARTS OF THE RESTORE MISSION:

1. FINANCIAL- – serve as a financial partner in the construction of Habitat houses

2. SOCIAL - provide low-cost materials for neighborhood revitalization

3. ENVIRONMENTAL – be good stewards of valuable resources; the ReStore diverts about 3,000 tons of material from the waste stream each year

4. ECONOMIC – reduce landfill disposal costs by reducing the amount of discarded materials; we help save the city of Columbia thousands of dollars annually
