ReStore For the Holidays

Written by Becky Engen | Nov 14, 2017 3:12:00 PM

With the season's festivities quickly approaching, we wanted to make sure to share our holiday hours with our donors, shoppers, and volunteers! These special hours are meant to accommodate scheduled organization celebrations, as well as provide staff time to spend with their families this season.

Store holiday hours

This year, we will be closed over the Thanksgiving holiday:

Wednesday, Nov. 22 - Monday, Nov. 27

In December, our New Brighton and Minneapolis stores will be observing special hours, or closing for the following days:

Closing early on Thursday, Dec. 14, and closed all day Friday, Dec. 15

Closed on Saturday, December 23

Observe regular store hours (CLOSED) on Sundays & Mondays, including:

  • Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
  • New Year's Eve and New Year's Day

We will continue to host great hot deals sales throughout the season, and have some fun DIY and holiday decor ideas that we will be sharing with you soon!

 

Holiday helpers needed!

Volunteer Groups

We are looking for some groups (six-to-thirteen people) to come out and volunteer at both our New Brighton and Minneapolis ReStore locations throughout the holiday season. This is a flexible volunteering opportunity for families, coworkers, faith groups or friends! Groups can choose a shift of 3 to 8 hours in length any time between 10 am and 6 pm Tuesday through Friday. Volunteers help with everything from accepting, sorting and stocking donations to setting up displays and assisting customers.

Donations Pick-Up Assistant

Ride with the Restore Donation Ambassador to help pick up donations for the ReStore, especially larger donations of cabinets, windows, furniture, appliances, etc. Donations Pick-Up volunteers allow us to get more of the high-quality donations the ReStore depends on. No need for truck driving experience or qualifications, as this position is ride-along only. Volunteers will be scheduled one day a week Monday through Friday 8 AM to 4 PM.

If you're interested in these opportunities or learning more about other volunteer roles, please email our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@tchabitat.org
