Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to the ReStore

Are you looking for a fun way to give back to the community? The Habitat ReStore needs energetic, fun-loving individuals for a variety of duties. From assisting customers, processing donations, arranging displays, answering phones to harvesting from older homes – there’s something for everyone.

Hours are flexible. Meet some wonderful new friends and make a difference.

Gail Yingling coordinates the ReStore’s volunteer program for in-store and harvesting needs, and for individuals or groups wishing to schedule a volunteer day at the store. She can provide you with more information on volunteering and answer your questions. If you are interested in becoming a ReStore volunteer, or want to explore how your group can participate, stop in or call or Gail at 563-391-4949. The hardworking volunteers who contribute their time and talents to make a positive impact on the environment and housing needs in the Quad Cities make the ReStore possible.
