Get creative with our Shabby Chic program! Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, this hands-on experience lets you restore furniture your way. Head to our downtown ReStore warehouse at 1208 S 3rd St., where you can choose a piece from any of our ReStores and bring it back to life.
It’s a fun, flexible, and self-directed project where you can either keep your creation or donate it back to the ReStore with a little extra love and value. Ready to get started? Email us today at restorevc@capefearhabitat.org
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the warehouse open to volunteer?
The shifts are typically 10am-1pm and 1pm-5pm Monday through Saturday, though you are welcome to come in at a time that best fits your schedule – We just ask that you communicate with us if those times differ!
How do you get started and bring your piece to the warehouse?
Once you choose a piece from the salesfloor, let the cashier or another staff member know! They will give you a label for the piece, and it will be brought down to the warehouse for you.
Is experience required to volunteer at Shabby Chic?
No experience is required, as we welcome all skill levels! It is self-directed, so you are able to work alone or collaborate with another volunteer on a piece.
What happens to the finished pieces?
Once your piece is finished, it will be returned to the ReStore salesfloor at a higher value!
