Agency: Habitat Restore - PDX

Description:

Like organizing? Interested in learning more about salvaged building materials? Join us for a morning in our warehouse, helping us neaten, stock, sort, and tidy our vast and varied inventory! With a small staff, we rely on the help of volunteers to keep our store looking its best.

The Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore is a recycled building materials re-sale center that recycles overstock materials, seconds, and used or discontinued or salvaged building materials. Habitat ReStores raise funds for the Habitat for Humanity Affiliates in the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan areas while keeping usable materials out of the landfill. The funds we raise help build affordable homes for local low income families. The materials we sell are donated new and used building materials that would otherwise have been discarded. We have earned over $500,000 for our affiliates and we keep over 950 tons of materials out of the landfill each year.

This project is great for volunteers ages 16 and older. Volunteers under age 18 will need to bring a waiver signed by a Parent/Guardian; please click on the link below to download: Youth Volunteer Release Form
