Thank you for considering volunteering at the CSC ReStore!

General Volunteers

Volunteering for the Habitat ReStore is of course going to be different than volunteering at a home build. You may not be building a house with nail and hammer but you are providing services that supply the nails and hammers. As a ReStore volunteer you are helping prepare and sell items whose proceeds go towards supplying the necessary tools, equipment and materials needed for building a house.

  • Donations Assistant - The donations assistant works in the receiving area accepting donations directly from drop-off donors. The merchandise is then cleaned and taken to the sales floor.
  • Mr/Ms Fix-it (repair volunteers) - We're looking for someone to repair or touch up furniture and other items that are slightly damaged.
  • Customer Service Volunteers - Assist customers by helping them find items in the store, measure items if necessary, and carry items to their vehicles.
  • Merchandising Volunteer - Arrange merchandise displays in creative ways so that they are attractive to shoppers


Specialized Volunteers

Do you have a special skill that you think can benefit the ReStore?  We are looking for professionals who have skills in fields of:

  • Carpentry
  • Electronics
  • Plumbing
  • Heating and Air
  • Interior Decorating
  • Books
  • Media

Some positions we are looking for help in immediately are:

  • Book Section Volunteer- We have an Art/Book section in the ReStore.  We are looking for someone to come and donate their time regularly to maintain the section.  We need help sorting donated books, pricing, keeping the section organized, and separating the jewels from the junk. Click here to get a better look at our Books and Art section you be working towards helping out.
  • Customer Service Volunteer- We are looking for someone to answer our main store phone on Saturdays at the ReStore.  The individual will be a potential customer/ donor's first impression of the store so it would be necessary to answer the phone in a professional manner. The volunteer will focus on helping potential customers/ donors with their needs and directing incoming calls to the appropriate staff members.  The volunteer will need some training on how to answer questions concerning store hours, donations, and other inquires about the store.
  • Volunteer Cashier- We need someone to operate a cash register a few days a week.  Hours can be flexible.  This is a position for those who can volunteer regularly.  Volunteer must pass a background check.  Volunteer must have good customer service skills and positive attitude.  Volunteer will be trained on how to operate the register and all other duties that are required.

If this applies to you, please contact the volunteer coordinator, Laura Jeffcoat at803.936.0088 x1102, or email her at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
