Volunteer
Get Started
ReStore volunteers help turn donated goods into lasting community impact. Every shift supports affordable housing, critical home repairs, and neighborhood revitalization throughout Greater Newark.
Most of our volunteers spend time on-site with us for a day at a time. Although there is no commitment to work for longer than a day, we love having return volunteers on-site. When volunteers return to work with us, we can teach them new skills, expand on old ones, and begin to give them more responsibility.
Individuals, families, and groups of fewer than 5 volunteers are welcome to register here. Groups of 5 or more volunteers must contact irivera@habitatnewark.org before registering. Please include your preferred date, time, group size, and organization name (if applicable) so we can coordinate your volunteer experience.
