Robert Molendyk is good with his hands. He always has been; growing up in a farming community in southwest Montana, he had to be.

Now retired, Robertdonates those good hands two days a week – every week – to the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami ReStore.

As a boy, he helped fix farm equipment and machinery, and repaired old buildings.  As a young adult, Robert used his fix-it skills to pay his way through high school and
college.  Now he is the Miami ReStore’s go-to handyman, repairing everything from donated furniture to the ReStore itself. Read More

Q: Who can volunteer at the ReStore?

A:  Anyone age 16 and over. Ages 16-17 must be accompanied by an adult 21 years and over. 

No previous Habitat or retail experience is necessary.

Q: Can I bring a group along?

A: Of course! We ask that all volunteer groups be scheduled with the ReStore in advance.

Q: How does my time help Habitat?

A: Every task a volunteer does replaces the time of a paid staff. This means that you are keeping our overhead cost down, and allowing us to give more of the money spent at the ReStore to Habitat!

Q: I have a special skill but I don't see it listed in the “Help Wanted” section. How can I help using that skill?

A: Contact missy [dot] monokian [at] miamihabitat [dot] org (Missy Monokian) at (305) 637-4913And remember, even if your particular skill isn’t applicable to the work being done at the ReStore, Miami Habitat has a wealth of volunteer opportunities for every skill set.
