The Habitat ReStore is a volunteer driven organization, and your time spent volunteering as a group will further our vision of "a world where everyone has a decent place to live." Tasks vary depending on the donation intake, and we work to the demands of what each day brings. Some examples of tasks completed by volunteer groups are: stocking and organizing tile, measuring and labeling carpeting, measuring and labeling doors, and merchandising and cleaning the store.
Group Size: We can accommodate groups of up to 6 people.
Age Requirements: Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age. (Youth waiver required.)
Schedule: Group projects are scheduled for 2.5 hours, and project time includes an introduction to the ReStore operations and the mission of Habitat for Humanity Dane County. Projects occur every Saturday, and alternate between our East and West side locations.
For more information, or to schedule a work day, please email Michelle Mumper at mmumper@restoredane.org

Our Mission: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Our Goal: Habitat for Humanity of Dane County will be a recognized leader, partner and catalyst for affordable housing solutions that positively impact families, communities and the environment. We are guided in everything we do by these fundamental values: Building communities and families Increasing sustainability Building efficiencies through partnerships
Description
Habitat for Humanity was founded on the principle that safe and affordable homeownership empowers people to reach their full potential. Our goal is to help families achieve and maintain sustainable housing. Through volunteer labor and donations of both money and materials, we build affordable homes for families as well as help low-income families make repairs on their current homes.
A home provides stability for families and children, as well as a sense of dignity and pride. Surveys show that children who grow up in a home are healthier, do better in school and will have better job prospects. Stable housing leads to safer, healthier and stronger communities.
Habitat does not give away homes or home repairs. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest their sweat equity into building their Habitat home and the homes of others. Each family must also attend educational courses on home maintenance, landscaping, budgeting and insurance.
The combination of low construction expenses, volunteer labor and a low to no-interest mortgages makes these homes affordable. Including property taxes and insurance, the Habitat homeowner’s monthly mortgage payment is no more than 30 percent of their gross income.
