Volunteer at Habitat for Humanity's ReStore

Saturday, April 20, 2013, 9:00 pm 

ReStore, 1411 Industrial Rd, San Carlos

The ReStore is a volunteer-driven social enterprise  that accepts and resells new and re-useable building materials, appliances, hardware, and furniture to the public at a fraction of the normal retail price. All proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco to fund the  construction of homes in San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo Counties. So, we like to call the ReStore “the store that builds.”

We even have volunteer cashiers! You can view a full list of volunteer opportunities available here. Our volunteer shifts run from 9-1 and 1-5, Tuesday-Saturday, but we love for volunteers to stay for the whole day. You can sign up here or get in touch with volunteer coordinator Michelle Kanda at 650-731-3108 or mkanda@habitatgsf.org.
