Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I just show up?

    In order to help us create an enjoyable volunteer experience, we request that every volunteer register online in advance. This will help our site supervisors and/or ReStore Staff to be better prepared with tools, materials, and projects for everyone.

  • What do I need to bring?

    No tools are necessary, but if you have them you are encouraged to bring basics, such as a hammer, nail apron, tape measure, utility knife and a pencil. Please clearly label all of your tools with your name. When required, we will provide work gloves, hard hats, and safety glasses. Cold, bottled water will be available, but you may wish to bring your own supply. It’s always a good idea to wear a hat and sunscreen when working outdoors.


     

  • What should I wear?

    Footwear needs to be sturdy, closed-toe and closed-heel. Boots or sneakers are both considered appropriate footwear. Wear clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or muddy. Please prepare for the weather by checking the forecast before you arrive at the work site and please dress appropriately for the weather. If it is sunny, please bring a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. If it is raining, please bring a jacket, raincoat, and/or rain boots. If it is cold, please dress in layers along with a hat, gloves and warm socks.


     

  • What type of bathroom facilities are on-site?

    We have Port-O-Johns at each build site.
