Every item donated, purchased, and reused through Habitat for Humanity’s ReStores helps support housing outcomes for local whānau.

• Providing excellent customer service to shoppers and donors
• Operating the till and processing sales transactions
• Receiving, sorting, pricing, and displaying donated goods
• Assisting with stock handling, merchandising, and store presentation
