See all- Habitat Young Professionals - Habitat ReStore Volunteer EventHabitat For Humanity Store - Southcenter, Tukwila, WA
Come join fellow HYP folks in making a tangible difference in your community! This month, we will be helping out at the Habitat Southcenter Store on Saturday May 18th from 10:15am to 2pm! You'll work with a crew of volunteers to help accept furniture donations, organize shelves, and generally lend a helping hand. No experience necessary, just come meet the HYP crew and we'll take it from there!
The Southcenter Habitat ReStore is one of three Habitat operates in the area, and play a vital role in support of the continued building and repairs of homes for low incoming families in the region. Gently-used furniture, like-new appliances, and construction materials are donated at the stores. Proceeds are then funneled to Habitat for Humanity's affordable housing and repair projects in our neighborhoods. If you're looking for furniture, sometimes you can even find extremely unique, one-of-a-kind examples.
