Volunteer at the ReStore
Not all volunteers swing a hammer or wield a paint brush! The Habitat for Humanity ReStore diverts tons of gently used homegoods and building materials from landfills by reselling them at discount prices to the general public. The ReStore depends on volunteers to sort and organize donations, stock shelves, assist customers, test appliances and electronics, and much more. Check out our 2019 ReStore Volunteer Handbook, as well as exploring our Memphis ReStore Website to learn more about volunteering and the store. There is no specific training necessary to get involved; volunteers go through a brief orientation on their first day. ReStore volunteers must be 17 or older. Our current ReStore volunteer opportunities are on Mondays through Saturdays.
ReStore Volunteer Positions
Customer Service volunteers are the face and voice of the ReStore. By assisting customers and donors on the phone, greeting everyone at the door and assisting our cashiers at the register, our Customer Service volunteers are usually the first and most memorable impression makers!
Donation Center volunteers work closely with donors who drop off new and gently used household items. Volunteers in this position are responsible for greeting donors, assisting with unloading, and providing a tax-deductible receipt. Staff will train volunteers to properly identify “acceptable” vs “unacceptable” donations.
Join our dynamic and energetic sales team to help keep the ReStore running smoothly! Work with staff and other volunteers to get donated items priced and ready to hit the floor. In addition, you will keep store sections stocked and tidy, as well as serve as a resource to shoppers on the sales floor.
We are looking for volunteers to help in organizing and cleaning our warehouse. In addition to moving donated goods to the retail floor, you could also help with appliance testing and item repairs.
