We are looking for volunteers who are able to help us at our ReStore in Goderich. Volunteers are needed to help work at the store morning or afternoon shifts during the week, doing a variety of tasks. Just a few hours a month goes a long way to help support Habitat and our work in the community. No experience is necessary, just a desire to help and a willingness to give some of your time.
This is a great opportunity for people who are looking for a regular scheduled activity. Volunteering at the ReStore is a great way to support the building of affordable housing in Huron County. Currently with the support of our ReStores, Habitat Huron County is building two new homes per year, and with your support we hope to continue to grow that number.
If you are interested in joining Habitat for Humanity as a volunteer please contact David Morrison, Volunteer Program Coordinator at 519-612-1616.
