Help us get our ReStore ready to ReOpen!
While our stores have been closed to the public, we've been cleaning, photographing, selling merchandise online and moving departments to enhance safety measures for our staff, volunteers and customers.
We need organizing wizards who can help us reset our stores to prepare for reopening.
Primary responsibilities will include cleaning and sanitizing donated merchandise and moving merchandise from the donations processing center to the sales floor. Volunteers will work in the different departments (i.e. paint, flooring, tile, bathroom, electrical, furniture, etc) throughout the donations processing center and retail store with tasks like sorting, organizing, labeling, unpacking, merchandising and pricing.
Preferred ability to lift and move appliances and furniture with dollies and carts and stand for up to 4 hours.
To help us care for one another, we recommend all volunteers adhere to Richmond Habitat's updated safety precautions:
You may NOT volunteer if you:
- Experienced symptoms that could be related to COVID-19 in the last 14 days (i.e. cough, fever, or any respiratory illness)
- Been near someone who is sick or if you or anyone in your household have been in close contact with anyone who is confirmed to have COVID-19.
- Traveled to any foreign country or traveled by cruise or have been in contact with someone who has traveled, in the last 14 days.
- Been to an event with more than 50 people within the last 14 days.
Sanitation and Safety Practices on Site
PPE (Personal Protection Equipment):
- Masks must be worn at all times while volunteering.
- Volunteers and all staff are being asked to wear proper PPE which is gloves, masks at all times, and protective eyewear when appropriate.
- Reusable PPE (gloves, masks, aprons, eye protection) will be available for one time use and washed as needed. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own PPE.
- Discard any Habitat issued, reusable PPE into bins marked ‘Dirty PPE’ at the end of your volunteer shift.
- Tools and protective eyewear should be wiped down after use with on-site cleaners.
- Reusable PPE will be used one time and washed weekly or earlier as needed.
- Used tools and eye protection should be wiped down after use with on-site cleaners.
Hand washing:
- Each ReStore has a restroom and each build site will have a hand washing station.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use hand sanitizer. Each ReStore has 4 sanitizer stations throughout and each build site has 1 inside the Tool Container.
Other Sanitation Guidelines:
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your cough and sneezes with your elbow or tissue.
- Pack a “go-bag” that includes hand sanitizer, snacks, water and any other personal items you might need.
- Clean any used spaces thoroughly before and after use.
- Maintain a social distance of 6' apart when possible.
Volunteers will be sent home:
- If they do not adhere to these protocols.
- If they have not registered for a shift on Galaxy Digital.
- Have a temperature of 100.4 & above. We will take temperatures at the start of each shift with a No Touch Thermometer.
