Worcester County Habitat for Humanity ReStore
Holds Volunteer Recruitment Night
Berlin, MD - Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County is holding a ReStore Volunteer Recruitment night on April 11 at 5:30 pm at the ReStore in Berlin, and those who attend will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 ReStore shopping spree.
The ReStore is an independently owned reuse store operated by Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County. The store accepts donations and sells home improvement items, furniture, and other household items to the public at a fraction of the retail price. The funds are then put to work in the community.
Proceeds are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter for deserving families. ReStores strive to keep operating costs as low as possible to maximize the amount of money that goes directly to benefit the community, and volunteers are one of the ways to achieve this.
“By giving their time, ReStore volunteers are supporting projects that benefit families in Worcester County,” says ReStore Manager Justin Cannon. “Volunteers also have a lot of fun and get to use their skills, talents and energy toward making the ReStore a great shopping experience.”
The Habitat ReStore offers a multitude of volunteer opportunities geared toward individual interests and skills. Typical volunteer ReStore duties include creating decorative displays, customer service, cashiering, stocking shelves, furniture upcycling, pricing and inventory, merchandising, donation pick-ups, greeting customers, and customer service.
The ReStore is located at 9026 Worcester Highway in Berlin. The store is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, and various volunteer shifts are available. For more information about volunteering at the ReStore, go to www.habitatworcester.org/ReStore or email volunteer@habitatworcester.org.
