Are you interested in volunteering in a retail environment? The ReStore is the place for you! Take in gently-used donations in the back of the store, prepare the items for the sales floor (cleaning, pricing, tagging), or show your skills on the sales floor. Most of all, have fun! All proceeds from the store go directly back to Habitat for Humanity to continue our mission of tranforming lives and impacting communities through first time homeownership for moderate income families.

Mission Statement
Habitat for Humanity of Berks County is a non-profit 501(c)(3) ecumenical Christian charitable organization which exists to create affordable homeownership opportunities with and for moderate-income families. Families who purchase Habitat for Humanity homes must first contribute 400 hours construction labor on a Habitat home, a contribution we call "sweat-equity." Homes are sold to the families at no profit, and financed by Habitat for Humanity with zero-interest mortgages. The payments made by the families on their mortgages are then used to build more homes in our community. We rely on volunteers and families contributing sweat-equity for the "un-skilled" labor needed to build the homes. Working in this way, we believe we provide families a "hand-up" rather than a "hand-out," while also providing a way for good people to assist hard-working families in our community.
