Bring your volunteer group out to the ReStore! Volunteer groups typically help unload donated household items, organize and clean donations, place items on the sales floor, maintain the cleanliness & organization of the store, and assist customers with carry-outs after purchase.
Next steps: Choose two or more volunteer dates and times that work for your group, and contact Group Volunteer Coordinator Courtney DuBulis to schedule your group’s service day: 704.785.1274 or cdubulis@habitatCLTregion.org.
