Appliance Testing & Repair Volunteer Assistant

The Habitat ReStores raise over $400,000 in the sales of donated appliances each year, due largely in part to the effort of staff and volunteers to process and prepare materials in an efficient manner. In order to provide quality items and encourage sales to fund our programs, the ReStores are seeking dedicated volunteers to work alongside our staff to clean, test, and repair donated appliances of all types. The sale of donated appliances provides functioning appliance units to the community, keeps working items out of the landfills, and raises funds for Habitat for Humanitys affordable housing programs in the Metro area.

This position requires the willingness and ability to:

• Work closely with a dedicated staff member in a cooperative and consistent way
• Learn appropriate testing processes, following all safety and documentation requirements at staff direction
• Sit and bend regularly and/or for extended periods of time

Habitat will provide:

• Necessary training by ReStore staff
• All appropriate testing and cleaning equipment
• Clear communication regarding scheduling shifts and upcoming events
• Admission into our Core Crew ReStore volunteer team, with invites to special appreciation events & opportunities

Time commitment:

• Selected shifts during store hours (Monday- Friday, 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM, Saturdays 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM)
• Shift durations of 4 hours minimum per week.
