ReStore Needs Lunch, Too!
 
Thanks to everyone who currently donates lunch for our home build volunteers on Saturdays during the build season. Don't forget about the ReStore Saturday crew! We are looking for volunteers interested in feeding a weekly hard working crew of Saturday volunteers; working to raise money for home builds one couch at a time . This can be a one time gift or an ongoing opportunity. If you are interested in more details, please contact Courtney at volunteer@cuhabitat.org or (217) 355-6460 x 116.

Help Wanted: Committee Leadership

2. Assist both Volunteer Managers in picking volunteers for recognition

3. Assist with volunteer orientations for home builds and the ReStore

FINANCE COMMITTEE
