Charley can be found every Friday in the ReStore stocking shelves, helping with new donations, and assisting customers. He also happens to be one of the friendliest people on the planet and always has a smile on his face. While we count on his assistance in the ReStore every week, we have also relied on his help elsewhere and he can be counted on to volunteer when we're struggling to get volunteer shifts covered. Charley was a crucial volunteer during our Tour of Green Homes fundraiser last fall and at the San Pascual build site. And he even volunteered to distribute fundraiser posters in all of Santa Barbara's coffee shops and rec centers. We couldn't have done it without him. We are so thankful for Charley's dedication to the ReStore and to Habitat for Humanity's mission of providing affordable housing in Santa Barbara.

As a way to visually thank our volunteers we provide each person with a Habitat for Humanity name tag after completing 25 volunteer hours and a name tag pin for each additional 100 hours. Next time you're in the ReStore check out the volunteers' name tags; you'll be surprised how many have a few hundred volunteer hours to their names.
Thank you to Charley and all of our volunteers who make the ReStore a success. We couldn't do it without you!
