Donations Processing volunteers are vital to the success of the Habitat ReStore. Right now, ReStore West could really benefit from having a volunteer focused on processing plumbing-based merchandise. This volunteer would perform all of the tasks of a general donations processor, but with a focus on plumbing. These tasks include: greeting and interacting with customers, assisting in loading and unloading donations/purchases from our truck or donors vehicles, cleaning, measuring and prepping donated materials as needed, putting merchandise on the floor, and promoting and maintaining a safe, clean work environment.
This is a great opportunity for someone who has knowledge or experience working with plumbing materials, doesn't mind getting dirty, and likes customer interaction. Every donation we process into our store stays out of the landfill! Volunteers for this position should be comfortable lifting 40-60 pounds with some frequency, and able to stand and walk for extended periods of time.
Available Shifts: Tuesday-Saturday, 9am-1pm & 1pm-5pm

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.

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.
