I am curious if anyone has any experience working with or shopping in one of the Habitat for Humanity ReStore centers. I begin volunteering my time there on Thursday and I'm not really sure what to expect.

It all started as a project for Psychology. Each of the students had to pick a different place to volunteer at. In my small town, opportunities are limited (especially for someone without a car), so I did some searches on volunteer sites and came across ReStore. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could help one of my favorite organizations in the winter months.

Either way, this should be a very interesting experience.

Oh! I love Habitat ReStores. I first came in contact with the one in my town through a thrift store tour. When I'm doing remodeling or helping someone else with theirs, I will definitely be back to find reusable items before hitting a retail place.

My hometown had several salvage stores which were roughly equivalent, but they were for-profit and were not connected directly with Habitat.
