About
Volunteers assist in every area of our service ministry.
The SVDP Donation Center volunteers will assist in the processing of the donated items and ensure quality standards are met for distributing to our friends in need. This volunteer ensures donated clothing and other merchandise makes its way to sale in our resale shops. These donated goods allow clothing and furniture voucher recipients to select for themselves what items their families need most at no charge. They can shop with dignity, choosing high-quality clothing that fits and other merchandise that makes their house a home. Unusable items are recycled.
Duties Include :
● Determine whether clothing and other merchandise should be sold or recycled
● Sort clothing by category (gender, age, season, etc.)
● Hang clothing with appropriate hanger in correct section
● Tag clothes and other merchandise with proper price tag as directed by staff
