Your volunteering helps us build community.
Our thrift stores provide revenue which subsidizes the administrative overhead of our affiliate, allowing more donor dollars to go into our families, providing them the strength, stability, and independence they need to create a better life for themselves and their families. Thrift store volunteers help by cleaning and sorting donations, stocking shelves, and providing customer service.
How To Volunteer
The ReStore offers more flexible hours for volunteering. The hours are: Mon-Sat 9:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Step 1:
SCHEDULE YOUR RESTORE ORIENTATION: All ReStore volunteers must schedule a ReStore orientation with the Volunteer Coordinator prior to any hours of service. This orientation will go over the ReStore volunteering process. You will also fill out a Volunteer Waiver and handbook acknowledgment. To schedule your ReStore orientation, contact Volunteer Coordinator, Hector Melendez at 352-351-4663 or email at hmelendez@habitatocala.org
Step 2:
TAKE THE ONLINE SAFETY COURSE: All volunteers must take the safety training course before you can volunteer at the ReStore. Instructions for the safety course can be found by clicking the link below.
ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL OF THE ABOVE STEPS, YOU WILL CALL THE RESTORE (352-401-0075) TO SCHEDULE YOUR VOLUNTEER SHIFT.
