Global Gifts is a nonprofit retail store offering great jewelry, accessories, home goods, toys, and more handmade by artisans around the world. As a FAIR TRADE store, selling these products makes a direct impact on the lives of these artisans, who benefit from fair wages, safe working conditions, and employment opportunities that allow them to care for themselves and their families.
YOU can help us advance this awesome cause! As a volunteer-supported organization, we rely on the talent and dedication of people like you to help us provide a great experience for our customers. Volunteers perform a variety of tasks in our stores, including customer service, unpacking and labeling new items, ringing up purchases, and keeping the store tidy. Our volunteers tell us that their time in the store is fun, rewarding, and a great way to spread the mission of fair trade in their community.
Join our team today!
