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 |
