The Habitat for Humanity ReStores are home improvement centers that sell gently-used and new furniture, cabinets, appliances, etc. to benefit Habitat home construction. New donations arrive daily, leading to a lot of inventory management! The Caln and Kennett Square ReStores are looking for a friendly, positive person to lend a hand in the warehouse! The Volunteer Warehouse Assistant is a flexible, weekly volunteer position available any day Monday through Saturday in 3+ hour shifts. Volunteers should be comfortable moving furniture and other large and bulky items up to 50 pounds.
Responsibilities include:
- Assist in safe and careful loading and unloading of ReStore donations and purchases from customers’ vehicles and ReStore trucks.
- Help to maintain cleanliness and organization of the warehouse and sales floor. Keep aisles clear of product and debris
- Graciously accept donations that have been dropped off at back dock and politely, but firmly, reject items that do not meet the ReStore donation guidelines.
- Safely place new donations on the sales floor in the correct department.

Mission Statement
Habitat for Humanity of Chester County's (HfHCC) goals are summarized by our formal mission statement which reads: "Providing basic, well-built, affordable, owner-occupied housing with God's people in need - in a way that builds hope, dignity, and independence, develops partnerships, encourages community, involves Christians and others of goodwill and cooperates with other organizations so that God's love is shared and celebrated".
Description
Habitat for Humanity of Chester County builds homes for low-income families in Chester County. We give a hand up, not a handout, so our houses are not free! Each home is sold to a hard-working, low-income family using a no-interest 30-year mortgage for the full purchase price of the home. Homeowners' mortgage payments, are recylced back into our construction fund to build more houses.
Since 1989, volunteers have built or renovated over 140 homes for low-income families in need of decent, affordable housing.
