We are looking for several teams of 3-5 people each who would like to carefully remove these items for the ReStore. We are currently looking for Crew Leaders who are experienced in carpentry, electrical, and plumbing. We are also looking for crew members interested in learning how to properly remove these items.

If you love prowling the aisles at Lowes, enjoy fixing things, or just want to help recycle building materials while supporting adequate housing, the ReStore needs you. Sales, display, cleanup of donations, merchandising and many other "jobs" are often volunteer efforts. The ReStore can use your help; be part of HfHMC's premier recycler of new and used building materials, tools and appliances. Call (812) 331-2660, or just dress down and drop by the store, to get involved. The ReStore is always looking for volunteers to work in the store. Also needed are volunteers with extensive knowledge in plumbing, electrical, heating/venting, etc. that would be willing to teach staff and perhaps conduct monthly workshops. Call us at (812) 331-2660 for more information.

Volunteers clean donations, set up displays, help customers . . . and anything else that needs doing!
