One Mission, Three Locations

Each ReStore location utilizes 8-10 volunteers per day Tuesday through Saturday. ReStore volunteers help our staff process donations, create displays, organize, clean, and help with any other necessary tasks. Volunteering at our ReStore is a great way to support our mission to build simple, decent, and affordable homes for local families. You can volunteer as an individual or as a group!

Team Building

Are you looking for a fun and engaging team building activity with immediate, tangible results? Join us at one of our three ReStore locations as a HabiTEAM today! Corporate teams, church groups, sports teams, book clubs, school groups, fraternities/sororities, families, and friends are all welcome.

HabiTEAM volunteer days provide your team with a change of pace from the everyday while offering a hand-up, not a hand-out, to local families seeking affordable homeownership.

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 ReStore Staff to be better prepared with projects for everyone.
What skills are required?

No specific skills are needed, just a willingness to learn and a positive attitude. Habitat provides experienced staff supervisors at each ReStore site who will provide a safety meeting, volunteer orientation, and guidance throughout the day.
Does Habitat ReStore accept court-ordered community service workers?

We are unable to accept Court-Ordered Community Service volunteers with violent, sexual, or theft charges. Court-Ordered Community Service volunteers through Montgomery County Probation and the City Of Dayton Probation may volunteer at the ReStore by contacting the Volunteer Services Coordinator at 937-586-0860 Ext. 129 or volunteer@daytonhabitat.org
What do I need to bring?

All you need will be provided; however, you can bring your own work gloves if you would like. Cold, bottled water will be available, but you may wish to bring your own supply. You will be given a lunch break in which you can eat a packed lunch or go off-site.
What will happen when I arrive at the ReStore to volunteer?

A ReStore Staff Member will direct you to the Volunteer Sign-In Station and show you how to check-in on the ReStore Kiosk. Once you have your ReStore smock and name tag, a ReStore Staff Member will then provide a safety meeting and volunteer orientation where specific tasks will be assigned to each volunteer.
What is my commitment?

The commitment is up to you! You may volunteer one time or as many times as you wish. You may come as a part of a group, and then decide that you would like to continue volunteering as an individual. We are delighted to work with you to fit your needs and schedule.

How do I sign up?

The first step to volunteer is to register through our online system, Volunteer Hub. Once you are registered, you can then sign-up online for our volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in volunteering as a group, please complete the HabiTEAM Form.
Do you provide online safety training?

Yes we do! You can view our online safety training offered by Lockton Insurance. Your volunteer access code is W8NAEBTG. Additional training for volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity Build Site is available here.
How do I cancel my volunteer date?

You can log-in to Volunteer Hub and cancel your volunteer date or you may utilize the link provided in your confirmation email. *HabiTEAMS/Volunteer groups that wish to cancel their volunteer day should contact the Volunteer Services Director directly at 937-586-0860 ext. 129.

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.
