Opportunities From: United Way of Tulare County

Volunteer: ReStore Visalia Volnuteer

Visalia ReStore volunteers are an important part of Habitat's mission to bring people together to build community, homes and hope in Tulare & Kings Counties.  Volunteers assist in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, customer service, inventory, receiving donations, assembling donated furniture, displaying and organizing donations, and helping all who leave the ReStore have a great experience!  This means there is something for everyone!  If you have a special skill or interest, let us know - there may be a way for you to use it!

Have some questions about getting involved?  We have answers!

Are there any age requirements? Volunteers 16 and 17 years old can volunteer with an adult and we need a waiver signed by a parent/guardian.

Are there any physical requirements? Since there are a variety of ways to help, physical requirements depend on the task. There are tasks that do not require heavy lifting or high exertion. Unloading/loading donations or purchases should only be completed by volunteers comfortable lifting 50 lbs. Volunteers can expect working in outdoor temperatures, depending on location and task. Tasks vary between active and sedentary and will depend on individual volunteer capabilities and customer/donor flow.  If you are concerned about physical limitations, please contact Anita at programasst@hfhtkc.ort to make sure the opportunity is right for you!

What should I wear? We require volunteers to wear closed-toe shoes and no tank tops for your safety and comfort. We recommend wearing durable shorts or pants, as well as dressing for outdoor temperatures.

Do I need any special skills or experience? No experience required! Staff and volunteers will be there to show you the ropes. All we ask is you come with a friendly and positive attitude and willingness to learn!  If you have special skills you want to use, let us know! 

Who will I work with? Volunteers will work directly with ReStore staff and volunteers.

What is my time commitment? Your shift is scheduled to start either at 9am and end at 1pm or 1pm and end at 5pm.  While we prefer you volunteer for the entire shift, we understand everybody's schedule is different; if you have concerns with your shift time, please contact Anita at programasst@hfhtkc.org after registering to request flexible start or end time!  You can sign up for one shift, all day, or multiple days!

What days / times can I volunteer? You can volunteer at the ReStore Monday - Friday between 9am and 5pm and Saturday between 9am and 4pm. We ask that you schedule a block of time
