Make a difference. Build community. Refresh spaces that support affordable homeownership.
Corporate teams, community groups, and youth groups are invited to join us for a hands-on volunteer experience at the Guelph or Fergus ReStore. Each experience accommodates up to 10 participants and supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission to help more families achieve safe, affordable homeownership. ReStore ReFresh days are $4,000/day.
All ReFresh experiences include:
- All PPE and equipment provided (including footwear)
- Snacks + a delicious hot lunch
- A Habitat “Lunch & Learn”
- Group photos
- A Habitat for Humanity t-shirt to take home
- Your group’s name added to our Wall of Habitat Heroes for all ReStore shoppers to see
- The chance to work alongside our diverse, knowledgeable staff and volunteers
- A welcoming, team-building environment where your group truly helps create good in our community
If your group has a unique skill set, we can also customize your experience to make the most of your strengths.
