About Habitat for Humanity ReStore

Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center offering new and gently used furniture, appliances, home goods, and building materials. Every purchase and donation directly supports affordable housing initiatives—helping families build strength, stability, and self-reliance.

When you join our ReStore team, you’re not just starting a job—you’re contributing to positive change in your community and helping create more sustainable, resilient neighborhoods.

Are you a people-person with a passion for helping others? Do you enjoy working in a dynamic, mission-driven environment? We’re looking for a friendly, motivated ReStore Sales Associate to play a key role in creating a positive shopping experience and keeping our store running smoothly.

In this role, you’ll be the go-to expert for a specific product department—such as furniture, appliances, home goods, or building materials. You’ll help customers find what they need, maintain an organized and attractive sales area, and support daily store operations.

As a ReStore Sales Associate, you will:

• Assist customers by providing product information, answering questions, and offering warm, helpful service.
• Oversee and maintain an assigned product department—ensuring items are clean, organized, and attractively displayed.
• Develop in-depth knowledge of your department to better support customers and increase sales.
• Collaborate with team members to maintain overall store cleanliness, safety, and high-quality customer experience.
• Track and monitor inventory levels, reporting shortages and identifying product needs.
• Support merchandising efforts to highlight inventory and drive customer engagement.
• Assist with loading and unloading donations—this may include lifting and moving heavy items.

We believe in taking care of our employees. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

• 403(b) retirement plan with employer match
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Employer-paid long-term disability
• Voluntary life insurance options
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Pet insurance
• Paid Time Off (PTO)

If you're energized by teamwork, enjoy hands-on work, and want to make a real impact in your community, we’d love to meet you. You’ll join a supportive team that values growth, collaboration, and purpose-driven work.

Start a career that builds more than homes—builds hope.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Retail or customer service experience; familiarity with ReStore product types (furniture, building materials, home goods) is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills and a friendly, helpful attitude.
• Ability to lift and move items up to 80 lbs.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and organized.
• Basic math skills.
• Ability to work independently within your department while being a collaborative team player.
• Clean criminal background check
• Willingness to work with volunteers
• Desire to work with diverse staff and customer base
• Committed to others in a nondiscriminatory, lawful and ethical manner, respecting the differences among people, and the value they bring to GDMHFH.
• Committed to GDMHFH mission and environmental stewardship
