Answer

No, our skilled construction crew and ReStore employees will work alongside you, guiding you through the day's tasks. We only ask that volunteers be open to learning new skills!

Question 4

Whom should I look for when I arrive on site?

Answer

Construction: Please check in with any member of our construction staff when you arrive. Our staff should be wearing an orange Habitat STW t-shirt.

ReStore: Please check in under the Volunteers Welcome site in the front of the store. You can ask any of the staff for assistance, your main contact will be Sarah Ertz or Peggy Roberts.

Question 5

Is water provided on site?

Yes, we have jugs of water on site and in the ReStore. We ask that you bring a water bottle that can be filled.

Construction: We no longer use a common source of drinking water. Please bring your own reusable bottle full of water and some back up. We will have bottles of water on site if needed.

ReStore: Yes! We have jugs on water in our ReStore. We ask that you bring a water bottle that can be refilled.

Answer

Yes! Our construction sites open at 8:30. All volunteers must be there ready to go at that time because the day starts with a mandatory safety orientation and assignment of jobs.

Answer

Construction: When you sign up for your volunteer day, you may not be given as exact address. Don't worry! You will be emailed a site address two days before your scheduled volunteer day.

ReStore: You will always be volunteering at 1400 North Lane, Mandeville LA 70471. The ReStore is located on Highway 59 behind the Prieto Fire Station.

Answer

Closed-toe tennis shoes or boots are required. Clothes you don't mind getting dirty are strongly encouraged. Long pants are suggested for safety. Please avoid wearing jewelry, because it can easily get damaged or lost. When working on our construction site please take weather into consideration as you will be working outside!

Answer

Whether you are volunteering in the ReStore or on the construction site please bring a water bottle. All tools and personal protective equipment are supplied. If you wish to bring your own tools or PPE please be sure to label everything. If you are volunteering all day remember to bring lunch and a snack with you.
