We are working to build partnerships with our local businesses and organizations, to ramp up volunteers for our Habitat for Humanity ReStore. The ReStore provides gently used donated items, for resale at a very low cost. The profits from these stores go directly back into the building of Habitat Homes, along with some Habitat for Humanity administrative costs.

When anyone shops, donates or volunteers at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, they are part of a worldwide movement dedicated to building simple, decent, affordable housing! Now more than ever, the Habitat for Humanity Panama City ReStore is an essential asset for the people of Bay County. Those affected by Hurricane Michael are able to purchase items they need to put them on a path to their "new normal".

Here is how you can help us! On Mondays, the ReStore needs groups of 5 or more (up to 10) people for store revamp. However, if your associates would prefer to volunteer singly, in pairs or small groups - we welcome that as well! From customer service to donation coordination, there's a volunteer opportunity for all of you.

I have attached a file with more information regarding volunteer sign-up. If your employees are interested, please share the attached flier. If you have any further questions or comments, it would be our pleasure to serve you.
