March 21st Service on Saturday: Habitat for Humanity Restore (FROSH ONLY)

I enjoyed the process

was super fun and would totally do again! the workers were super sweet and helped with anything you needed!

Assisting with the logistical operations at the ReStore reinforced my interest in organized, community-based environmental efforts and highlighted how sustainable resource management can play a role in my long-term academic and professional journey. I learned that the ReStore acts as a crucial bridge for the community by diverting usable materials from landfills and providing affordable housing solutions through a circular economy model. Working as part of a volunteer team allowed us to process large donations and organize the warehouse floor much more effectively than working solo, which emphasized the value of collective effort in achieving organizational goals. My service supported Habitat for Humanity’s mission by helping generate the retail revenue necessary to fund local home-building projects for families in need of decent, affordable shelter. I overcame the challenge of organizing diverse, unsorted donations by quickly learning the store’s categorization system and coordinating with staff to ensure items were safely and logically displayed for customers.

I loved getting involved with Habitat for Humanity!
