More details on restore volunteer opportunities

Our ReStore is open Wednesday - Friday from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., and volunteers are welcome during all of these hours. On Tuesdays, we have opportunities for group projects between 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. while the store is closed. Most of our volunteer opportunities while the ReStore is open are geared towards individuals, provide flexibility and are available in 2-hour shifts or more. As an individual, you'll work with our ReStore associates in a retail-based setting that provides home improvement solutions at a reduced price to the community. Profits from our ReStore fund our housing programs which operate throughout Sheboygan County.
