We normally are helping to stock donations onto the shelves, straighten up or rearrange some of the areas, and sometimes help with accepting incoming donations & outgoing purchases. There is free parking and a lunch break. Customers shop at the ReStore for new and gently used appliances, furniture, home remodeling supplies, pictures, and more at huge discounts. Our volunteers get an extra discount if they see something they wish to purchase! All profits support Habitat for Humanity’s home ownership program for low-income families. Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver builds and sells homes to hard-working people in need of decent and affordable housing. Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope.

Serving Dinner at the Delores Project Women’s Safehouse, Thurs. Aug. 21st, 5:30-8 PM, 6 Volunteers are needed. This is a fantastic facility that assists homeless women who have been in challenging situations! We can help bring some joy there while serving dinner & talking to residents as they come through the dinner line! The food is provided, we just need to heat it up and serve it to the residents as they come through the line. In addition to serving the food we will eat dinner towards the end of our shift prior to packing up the food items for storage. So many of our volunteers request this event! We have assisted this women’s safe shelter several times through several years and they have asked us back as we have fantastic groups of volunteers. The shelter is in West Denver. This is a confidential location that is given out to the volunteers after registering due to the nature of the facility. Both male & female volunteers are welcome to assist at this event.
