“I am going into my junior year at Palmetto Ridge High School and I’m volunteering at the ReStore in order to earn hours towards my Bright Futures scholarship. I also want to gain more experience with a nonprofit organization. I like that I am learning to better communicate with people and help out customers. ”

“I am volunteering at the ReStore because I want to serve people who are in need in my community. I was introduced to Habitat because I have friends and co-workers who live in Habitat homes and I have volunteered to help with their required volunteer hours.”
