JOIN OUR KEY TEAM – Key volunteers boost the growth of ReStore

ReStore’s key team volunteers work in the store, donation center, off site and in the community. While typical volunteers perform basic tasks such as pricing and accepting donations, key team volunteers require special skills and attributes. This makes them highly sought after, difficult to recruit and necessary to retain.

When you become a key team volunteer, we promise to make your experience fun, rewarding and to make you feel appreciated.

Meet the ReStore Manager Mike Glancy

Mike comes from a background in home building and building association management so he knows a little about home improvement, building homes and working with people.

In just over five years since joining ReStore, Mike has more than doubled sales at ReStore and is focused this year on executing the planned floor space expansion.

One of the best part of his experience managing volunteers at ReStore is seeing volunteers make progress.  Several volunteers have made the transition from highly-motivated, key volunteers to being hired as employees in vital operations and management positions.

“It’s a pleasure to be able to work with a wide variety of people from different backgrounds and to help make sure their volunteer efforts at ReStore are fun, safe and fulfilling,” says Mike. “We really appreciate the way they make shopping fun for the customers and try to return the favor by rewarding the volunteers with fun events and recognition throughout the year.”
