The Habitat for Humanity ReStore resells donated home improvement items and uses the proceeds to fund Habitat for Humanity GSF's mission of building homes for families in the community. We build homes for low-income families in San Francisco, Marin and the Peninsula, keep goods out of landfills, and provide affordable, quality home-improvement items for the community.
Since there are only three full time staff members, volunteers make the ReStore possible. Volunteers help take donations, work with customers, design and create amazing vignettes, complete light construction, and get the word out. Some of our positions DO requiring lifting, but we have options for everyone. No experience necessary!
Shifts are flexible: Wed - Saturday from 9-1 or 1-5. You can volunteer as often or as little as you like.
