Volunteer Program

Bring your volunteer group out to the ReStore! Volunteer groups typically help unload donated household items, organize and clean donations, place items on the sales floor, maintain the cleanliness & organization of the store, and assist customers with carry-outs after purchase.

• Groups typically schedule 3-4 hour shifts between the hours of 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Tuesdays-Saturdays.
• Volunteers must be 16-years-old to volunteer; volunteers under 18 must have a parental waiver completed.

Next steps: Please complete the volunteer registration application and indicate your interest in bringing a group to volunteer.  Once you’ve completed the registration, you will receive a link to our online volunteer calendar then designate yourself as the group leader and reserve a volunteer shift for your group.  Please contact volunteer@yorkcountyhabitat.org or 803-985-9244 if you have any additional questions about scheduling a group.

This position will include accepting donations directly from drop-off donors with an emphasis on what we accept and do not accept. Volunteers in this position would be responsible for maintaining a good relationship with both frequent and first-time donors.
