Habitat For Humanity Teen Volunteer Project
February 16, 2026
Teens are invited to give back to the community through a meaningful volunteer experience at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
During this project, teens will work inside the ReStore helping to organize donations, sort items, and support the day-to-day operations that fund Habitat for Humanity’s mission of affordable housing. While this is not a construction project, the work done in the ReStore plays a vital role in supporting local families and building stronger communities.
