The Prevention of Blindness Society of MetropolitanWashington (www.youreyes.org) has ongoing opportunities at our antique resale shop on Kensington, MD's "Antique Row." All proceeds go back to the Prevention of Blindness' sight-saving programs. Volunteers are needed to help:

  • Sort Donations
  • Stock Merchandise
  • Create Store Displays
  • Work the Cash Register

This is a great opportunity for individuals interested in art, antiques, fashion or retail management. All volunteers are asked to develop a consistent schedule for their work. Volunteers will begin training once they start their service at the store.

About The POB Resale Shop:

Welcome to Kensington's most unique resale shop - part of Kensington Antique Row, the DC metropolitan area’s largest and oldest antiquing center! We specialize in antiques, furniture, collectibles, bric-a-brac, jewelry, glassware and vintage clothing. The store depends on the generosity of area residents for donations of gently used items, which are available for purchase at fantastic prices. All store proceeds go toward making POB's vision programs in the community a reality.

COVID-19 Procedures:
At this time, all new volunteers are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to volunteering.

Here’s what we are doing at the Look Again Resale Shops to help keep you safe:

  • Employees and volunteers verify that they have not had a temperature in the past 72 hours.
  • Employees have completed additional training related to our sanitization policies and procedures, including The ALX Promise Program.
  • Increased cleaning will be conducted using disinfectant on the EPA-approved list effective against COVID-19.
  • A hand sanitizing station will be available at our entrance.
  • Signage has been placed throughout the shop that highlights our sanitization guidelines.

Here’s how you can help keep our community safe:

  • Wear a face covering while in-store.
  • Sanitize hands upon entry/exit with provided sanitizer.
  • Observe social distancing by allowing at least six feet of space between each person while in-store.
  • Follow social distancing guidelines and markers placed on the floor.
  • Please stay home if you’re not feeling well - don’t worry, we will be here when you feel better!
