Volunteers are the backbone of Habitat for Humanity and without them our work would not be possible.  We currently need volunteers in both ReStores.  Our ReStores accept donations of new and used building supplies and resell them to the public at bargain prices.  New donations arrive daily and we need help assembling and preparing items for sale, stocking shelves, assisting customers and running the cashier.  If you're interested in volunteering, contact Greg Webster, Volunteer Program manager.

As a volunteer, you'll be the first to see great new product as it arrives, and will have the opportunity to shop and spread the news about ReStore deals to friends and family!  New donations arrive daily, so there's always a bargain to be had.  Sinks, tubs, flooring, lighting, hardware, tools, outdoor and more!

Volunteer

Below are our current volunteer opportunities.  We are in great need of volunteers who can become a regular part of our team.  Click here to contact Greg Webster, Volunteer Program Manager.

Vancouver/Burnaby ReStores:

Open 9am – 5pm Monday – Saturday

  • Floor Helpers – Are you able to dedicate a regular time slot to volunteering each week?  We need floor helpers to assist with shipping, receiving, organizing, pricing and stocking shelves, especially during the weekdays.  Volunteer shifts are the ReStores are generally 4 hours which also gives you plenty of time to be the first to scope out all of the latest inventory that hasn’t even hit the shelves!
  • Cashiers/Customer Service Representatives – Do you have a knack for helping people?  As a cashier or customer service representative at the ReStore, you will be the first face of Habitat for Humanity that our customers will see.  We need passionate individuals to help us ring in sales and answer customer inquiries via phone and in person.
  • Carpenters/Electricians/Cabinet Builders/Plumbers – Can you put things together easily?  A lot of the items we receive arrive in boxes in many small parts.  We are looking for skilled individuals who have experience putting together and testing taps, lighting fixtures and cabinets so they are picture perfect and ready for the sales floor.   

Other Opportunities:

Spread the Word about our ReStores:  Do you know of a great place to advertise our ReStores?  Perhaps you know someone who works at a firehall or construction company who would be willing to post our ReStore poster?  Do you know of a festival coming up where you could distribute flyers?  Let us know what you have in mind and we’ll get you the supplies you need to help us get the word out.  Click here to contact Gayle Webster, Director of Resources & Communications.
