We build homes in both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

If you would like to volunteer in one of our ReStores:
The ReStores offer new and used donated excellent items at discounted prices. They feature building materials and home furnishings. Proceeds from the stores are used towards building Habitat homes.

Right now our greatest need is volunteers who are willing to donate their time on a regular/routine basis.
• Activities may include:
• Pricing and stocking inventory
• Organizing donated items
• Assisting customers
• Cleaning the store

Hours of operation for the Pensacola ReStore are Tuesday-Saturday 9am-5pm.
The Pensacola ReStore is located at 5810 N. Palafox St.
You MUST read and sign the ReStore Procedural Manual before serving as a volunteer at the ReStore. You can download and print the manual  here.

If you would like to volunteer in our office:
It is important that we always have someone working at the front desk to answer the telephone.
As one of the most productive Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the country, our telephone is constantly ringing.  
Since we do not have a hired ‘office assistant’ we depend on reliable volunteers to perform this task as well as other activities such:
• data entry
• copying
• filing,
• cleaning
• assembling mailings for distribution

Our office is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.

If you would like to serve on a committee:
Advisory committees are a vital component of Pensacola Habitat for Humanity and we are always looking for volunteers who are interested in joining one of these groups:

Family Selection Committee
Members review applications, interview applicant families, make recommendations to the Board of Directors, etc.

Family Support/Nurture Committee
Members act as mentors and partner with families to discuss budgeting, encourage them, and assist them with any questions that may arise as the family experiences home ownership for the first time.

The qualities of a good mentor are:
• A good listener
• A relationship builder
• Someone who is sensitive and sympathetic to issues that arise when a person is living with a limited income such as low self-esteem, anxiety, or frustration
• Someone who has good "life skills"
• A person who is willing to help others and who is flexible

People on this committee are asked to:
• Build a rapport with the family that they have been assigned.
• Serve as a liaison between the family and the Habitat office to ensure that the family understands the requirements of becoming a Habitat homeowner.
• Encourage the family to tap into appropriate community resources.
