Build camaraderie within the team while helping to build up those in our community.

Who: River Bank team
When: Thurs June 19 from 8:00am to 12:00pm
Where: Habitat ReStore, 3181 Berlin Dr, La Crosse WI

Special instructions: Plan for potentially working outside and wear layers. Closed-toed shoes are required. Work gloves are provided on-site, but if you have a pair you like you’re encouraged to bring them. Bring a water bottle and a sack lunch if desired. Prompt arrival time at the start of your shift is important for the safety orientation.

Volunteers at the ReStore get a behind-the-scenes look at the daily operations of La Crosse’s only discount home improvement store. In a typical day, volunteers help track incoming donations, support customers, and keep things running smoothly. Volunteers might split into smaller groups to support different areas of the store: receiving area, recycling room, and the checkout counter. Special projects (TBD) might include crafting holiday ornaments, constructing shelving for a new section of the store, or landscaping in the ReStore’s native plant gardens.

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region
At Habitat, we envision a Coulee Region with ample, quality housing options and healthy, sustainable communities for all. We believe that decent, affordable housing should be a matter of conscience and action; we realize that there are people in our community who are living in inadequate conditions and that joining together we can provide a hand up – not a hand out. Our values are as follows.

Committed to reuse and environmental sustainability: We believe healthy land and water are essential to a sense of home and belonging. Sustainable practices are embedded in our programs.
Rooted in faith in community: We honor the traditions and values of our founders, and we respect the needs and challenges of our local community as we together seek solutions for affordable housing.
Driven to innovate: We believe our mission calls us to be creative in our work. We look for fresh solutions and partnerships to solve the problems facing our community.
Called to advocate: We demand forward-thinking from our elected officials and work to keep the critical need for quality, affordable housing at the forefront of policy makers’ minds.
