We need you! ........
Here at Habitat for Humanity Orlando we are busy preparing for the second of our Convention Center Volunteer Events! We have been chosen to receive donated products from the True Value show, March 14th -16th at the Orange County Convention Center .
The donated items will be sold in our ReStore (formerly Habitat Home Store) and also used in the construction of our homes. All of the funds raised at the ReStore help to ensure the success of our mission.
The True Value show is a huge undertaking, with over 1,500 vendors. We received 171 pallets of donated items from last months trade show and we expect to get about that same amount at this one. We will be at the Convention Center for four days and will need over 100 volunteers total.
Below is a schedule of shifts for the show. Volunteers are needed to help confirm donations with vendors, gather donations, palletize and wrap donations, and to manage the market carts. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old or older per Convention Center regulations.
