Volunteer at the ReStore logo
Individual volunteer opportunities are available at our Glenwood ReStore Monday through Saturday every week from 9:30am to 4:30pm.

The Glenwood Springs ReStore is one of the premiere ReStores in the country and is the economic engine for Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork Valley. We receive amazing donations from all over the valley so we always need help arranging, organizing, displaying and cleaning the treasures you will find in our store.

You do not need retail experience to volunteer at the ReStore, will teach you what you need to know. You may be working inside or outside depending on the task, so please wear sturdy shoes, dress in layers, and bring a water bottle. Also please bring your own lunch unless you have been told that lunch is provided on the specific day you signed up for.

Please click on VOLUNTEER, create an account or log-in if you already set up an account, then register for the day(s) you would like to work at the ReStore.

When you arrive to work, please check in at front desk. Staff will ask you to sign-in then they will get you set up for a fun and rewarding day of volunteering.

If you are unable to work on a day you signed up for, please cancel the shift. This will help our crew know how many volunteers to expect.

If you would like to schedule a Team Day for a group, help a homebuyer meet their homeowner contribution requirements, or volunteer to build homes at our Wapiti Commons construction site in Rifle, please contact Carolyn Meadowcroft by phone at 970-379-4880, or email carolynm@habitatroaringfork.org for more information.

We look forward to working with you. Thank you for your support of affordable housing in our community!

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Roaring Fork Valley
Habitat for Humanity of the Roaring Fork Valley partners with local families who otherwise would not be able to afford a home of their own, through conventional means. We build homes in partnership with local families in need of a hand-up, not a hand-out.  The wide gap between our high resort area cost of living (especially for housing) and the actual rural community wages makes it difficult to retain teachers, and essential personnel within our area- all who hold jobs that are key to the well being of our children and community, but cannot afford to live close to where they work. 

Our local Habitat has been building homes with lower income families for almost 20 years,  but we have become increasingly aware of the acute need for housing for the middle income workers who provide vital services to our community.  This is what brought about an extraordinary collaboration with the Roaring Fork School District, Pitkin County, and the Town of Basalt to build the Basalt Vista Housing Partnership- located behind Basalt High School- which provided 27 affordable homes.   Our current development is Wapiti Commons located in South Rifle.  We have started construction on 20 affordable homes consisting of  ten 3-bedroom townhomes and two  3-bedroom condos for families, and eight 1-bedroom condos for older adults or small families.  Our next development will be homes in Glenwood Springs so please watch for details on our website.

Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people who build more than houses. By bringing homeowners together with volunteers, donors, community leaders, foundations, and other supporters we are building stable families, safe neighborhoods, and caring communities.
