Hope Lovell of the ReStore is hopeful that a new batch of area residents will choose to help out the cause.
"Our schedules are flexible we make them that way so that so that we can work with more people,” said Lovell.
“And just come, sign-up on our website. There's a volunteer page you can put in an application there.”
