ReStore volunteers

ReStore volunteers provide a critical role in building decent, affordable homes throughout Horry County. Volunteers help keep ReStore-related operation costs low, generating more profits that are directly invested into affordable homeownership opportunities for our Home Buyers throughout Horry County.

Not only will you be supporting the mission of the Habitat for Humanity of Horry County (without needing a hammer!), you’ll become part of the ReStore family. Volunteers must be 16 years or older.

Volunteer duties at the ReStore include loading and unloading donations, sort products, assist and greet customers, provide excellent customer service and more!

Home Buyer program mentors

The process of the Home Buyer Program is a commitment that can be stressful and challenging for the participant. HFHHC understands the process of change and the need for support of those families in the Home Buyer Program. By creating the Home Buyer Mentorship Program, HFHHC hopes to make a successful transition from renters to owners and give the Home Buyer all the tools necessary for them to be a successful Homeowner.
