Do they actually work?

3. Greek Fest Volunteers - we need 2 people at a time to "man" our informational booth. Answer questions and hand out info about Charleston Habitat to those attneding the event. After your shifts, you're free to go enjoy the festival for free!
4. Office Angels- are you good with computers? Enjoy organizing? Data Entry? Filing? We need your help in our administrative office in downtown Charleston.
5. Pass out flyers - whether going around a enighborhood to let the homeowners know about our new A Brush with Kindness program or passing out flyers to downtown businesses abour our ReStore. If you have the time, we'll provide the materials. This would be a huge help!!!
