Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Victoria
Every volunteer makes a difference for local families.
Volunteers work with us in a variety of ways throughout the year.
From becoming a ReStore volunteer to helping at fundraising events, there are many opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way.
How to get involved:
ReStore Volunteers:
We are always looking for volunteers to help in our ReStores. We have two ReStore locations in Greater Victoria - Victoria and Westshore. Our ReStores are open 7 days a week with different shifts to suit your schedule. There are so many ways to volunteer at the ReStore. Volunteers help with receiving and sorting donations, assisting customers, stocking shelves, merchandising the store floor and so much more!
Event Volunteer Opportunities:
Gingerbread Ambassadors:
Habitat Victoria's 17th Annual Gingerbread Showcase fundraiser is fast approaching and we need YOUR help! Once again hosted at the fantastic Hotel Grand Pacific, we look forward to welcoming the many visitors that come out to view and vote for their favourite creation. This iconic Victoria holiday event features local professional and at-home bakers building imaginative gingerbread creations, all in support of Habitat Victoria.
The show runs daily from 9am to 9pm from Friday, November 21, 2025 through Sunday, January 4th, 2026. Shifts are 3 hours long, with 2-3 ambassadors per shift. Sign up for as many as you like.
Volunteer ambassadors help greet guests, encourage them to vote and donate for their favourite, and spread the holiday cheer.
