A few times a year, Habitat for Humanity of Lee County needs help staffing booths and table displays
at events in the area. Some of those events include the Home and Garden Homeshow as well as
fundraising and volunteer drives.

Thrift Store

Sort, organize and price items in Habitat for Humanity’s thrift stores! The Thrift Store was originally
started to help families furnish their homes with affordable items. Today, volunteers help run the store as its open to the public for shopping. All proceeds from the sale of donated items go towards the construction of Habitat homes. Habitat for Humanity of Lee County’s three thrift stores are located in North Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Labelle and open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm.

Paint Shop

Habitat for Humanity of Lee County pre-paints all doors, window frames and trim for Habitat homes in
our paint shop before the materials are brought to the construction sites. The paint shop is located next to our North Fort Myers office. The Paint Shop is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am to 2pm.

Warehouse

Habitat for Humanity of Lee County pre-builds all framing and walls for Habitat homes in their North Fort Myers Warehouse. The Warehouse is a shaded facility located next to the Habitat office. Inside the Warehouse, volunteers use a template system to exact each cut and save on scraps. The Warehouse is open Tuesday through Friday from 8am to 2pm.

Bulk Mailing

Bulk mailing is a seasonal task. Habitat for Humanity of Lee County sends out newsletters and
fundraising pieces to donors and volunteers a few times a year in bulk mailing capacities. We need
help stuffing these pieces with envelopes and loose materials.
