Often arriving with only their dignity and the clothes on their back, the in-kind donations which stock the Resettlement Shop shelves are essential to helping refugees in their journey from harm to home. This program provides recently arrived refugees with essential items including clothing, toiletries, kitchenware and school supplies that have been donated by members of the community.
Volunteers will help refugees find items that fit their needs, as well as track outgoing donations that refugees have selected. Volunteers will help sort and organize donations, and straighten up the shop between client visits. Volunteers should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with a diverse group of refugees and community members, and high volume of incoming and outgoing donated items.
3-4 hours/week on Mondays from 1-4pm and Wednesdays from 10am-1pm.
