ReStore participates in corporate match and giving programs, if available, allowing your company to support causes important to your employees.

Personal Development Activities-Some individuals just can't commit to a long-term volunteer position, but that doesn't mean that they can't volunteer. If you only have one Saturday a year, breaks from school, or are looking for a one-time family/couples activity, ReStore has the perfect opportunity! These development activities are designed to be completed in just a few hours; giving a real sense of accomplishment. It gives everyone the opportunity to give of their time and contribute to our cause without a long-term commitment.

Here are just a few of the Volunteer benefits:

  • Help the environment and community
