South Shore Habitat for Humanity ReStore Calls for Volunteers and Donations

HANOVER, Mass. - March 13, 2018 - PRLog -- ReStore, South Shore Habitat for Humanity's community donation store, is calling for volunteers and donations.

ReStore is an earth friendly home improvement and donation center that sells new and used building materials, appliances, furniture and home goods at discounted prices. The organization accepts donations of items and then resells the items to the public. One hundred percent of all proceeds benefit South Shore Habitat for Humanity and its mission of delivering affordable homeownership opportunities to families. The ReStore is located at 357 Columbia Road (Rte. 53) in Hanover.

Volunteers at the ReStore assist in tasks ranging from donations processing, merchandising, loading and unloading donations, customer service, warehouse organization and cashiering. Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age and any volunteer under the age of 18 must have a waiver form signed by a parent or guardian. Volunteers can sign up directly on-line and can choose the shifts they would like to work. There are morning and afternoon shifts, and the store is now open on Sundays. On occasion, corporate, community or faith groups may also reserve a group day of service.

Truck unloading volunteers are also needed. Volunteers are needed every Tuesday through Friday from 3 to 4:30 PM. Volunteers must be at least 14 years of age and able to lift 50 pounds. Donated objects can range from pillows to refrigerators as every truckload is different.

Instead of having items end up in the landfill, ReStore offers people the chance to recycle and repurpose gently used items.   ReStore also carries a line of recycled latex paint that is produced by Recolor® Paints, (formerly The Paint Exchange). Founded in April 2009, The Paint Exchange, LLC was the first recycled paint manufacturer in the state of Massachusetts. They take latex paint that would otherwise go to waste and process it into recolor® brand paint for sale. ReStore carries their line of indoor, outdoor and chalk paint.

"We have amazing and creative volunteers, including students, retirees, and people just looking for something new to do. People are finding us to shop, donate and volunteer! It has grown into a vibrant place where people can discover a new treasure for their homes or give back to the community," said Patrick Gately, Manager of ReStore.
