    Description

    Become a ReStore Chicago South Donation Attendant

    The ReStore is Habitat for Humanity's home goods thrift store, where all our proceeds go directly into building affordable housing in the city of Chicago. Volunteering alongside our team, you'll help manage the intake and processing of donations as we prepare them for resale.

    If you've got an eye for detail and love to organize, this is the role for you. In this volunteer position, you will clean, sort, and process donations to get them ready for the sales floor. This is a chance to gain some warehouse or retail experience and meet new people all at once!

    To get started, you'll need to sign up and register for ReStore Volunteer 1st Shift, our orientation shift held most days. During this training shift, you'll get a tour of our store, shadow a staff member in our warehouse to learn the ins and outs of receiving donated goods and preparing them for resale. Once you have that under your belt, you'll be able to register for all the shifts that fit your schedule.
