ReStore Front Desk Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland is a homeownership program. Founded in 1985, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland, is committed to the development and uplifting of families and communities, not only to the construction of houses. Geographically, we initially served 11 towns/cities surrounding and including Portland, we now serve the 28 communities in the greater Portland area. In three decades, we’ve built 68 homes, served more than two hundred people with stable, affordable housing, engaged hundreds of business and civic partners, and enlisted the support of thousands of volunteers.

Here at the ReStore we act as a fundraiser for all of the programming that the affiliate does. We sell new and used building materials, appliances, and furniture. All items have been donated. The sale of those donations, minus our operation costs, help to build 2-3 homes a year with families in need!

The ReStore is now recruiting volunteers to help grow our capacity by serving as a Front Desk Volunteer.

A typical shift is 4 hours long, either in the morning (9AM-1PM) or afternoon (1PM-5PM) Tuesday-Saturday Volunteers will be in teams of two and are asked to

• Complete cash, credit card, and occassionaly check transactions using Quickbooks
• Answering questions over the phone
• Scheduling pick-ups for our truck over the phone
• Assisting and greeting customers

Volunteers DO NOT need to have previous customer service or retail experience but the ability to commit to coming in at a consistent time and day is preferred.

Full training will be provided after store hours and staff help is always very close by to provide support and the only thing required is a positive attitude and a willingness to have fun!
