Oak Forest Sales Floor/Warehouse Volunteer (Half Day AM Shift)

You don't have to pound nails to be part of providing safe, affordable, and decent housing in the Chicago South Suburbs.

Store Manager: Richard Gilio

On Site Volunteer Supervisor: Kisha Harris

ReStore volunteers bring new skills and build capacity to help provide discounted building materials and home goods to the community. Habitat for Humanity Chicago South Suburbs uses funds raised by the ReStore to help families build, rehabilitate and repair homes. By giving your time and talents, you help the Oak Forest ReStore do more to support homebuilding projects that benefit families in the area. If you have court-related community service hours to fulfill, please reach out to the Director of Community Outreach and Partnerships by emailing jescortt@gohabitat.org. We will not verify any hours completed until after you have been approved. 

The minimum age to volunteer is 16 years old. All minors signing up will be prompted to provide their legal guardian's name and email address for a waiver to be sent for them to electronically sign. Once signed, the minor can finish registering for their volunteer shift.

Volunteer needs at the Oak Forest ReStore may vary, but the following are common ways that you can help:

• Assembling pack furniture/cabinets
• Assisting ReStore employees in maintaining a clean and attractive store
• Customer service
• Loading and unloading vehicles 
• Sorting and preparing donations to go on the salesfloor
• Organizing displays on salesfloor
