Volunteering at ReStore

[forgotten_aria]

First, for those of you who won't read the whole post, I want to say that the ReStore in Lawrence is like goodwill for home depot/lowe's stuff. Check it out, especially if you need something that's not made any more.

As part of my Black Belt test, I had to volunteer somewhere. I do lots of volunteer work for ONE, including reheading the drums, but I've also wanted to find somewhere I could volunteer that I didn't have a stake in. I finally found a place that didn't have a month commitment required, which is the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

It was kind of fun. they gave me odd jobs. I was exhausted by the end because of the social interactions of them not quite giving me enough guidance and knowing the line between bothering them with a question and not making things worse.

The store itself was an amazing collection of things. I plan to go back there to shop at some point.

I hope I also go back to volunteer, but right now I don't have the social energy to even think about it too hard.
