Volunteers are the heart of all six Seattle Children’s Hospital Bargain Boutique stores. And, in Olympia, the need for volunteers is bigger than ever. Shop volunteers help to acquire merchandise, sort, price, display, cashier and sell merchandise. With all proceeds going to Uncompensated Care for families and children undergoing treatment at Seattle Children’s Hospital, volunteering for the store is something that makes a real difference in the lives of sick kids.
The store is always looking for experts to help us in different areas of the store. If you are interested in serving your community in a fun atmosphere, get in touch with the staff at the Olympia store. They are happy to help train you and work with your schedule to find times that fit your life.
Here’s what some of the volunteers have to say about their experience working in the Bargain Boutique and a little about their experiences helping Seattle Children’s Hospital with their mission.
Jean: She is part of the Mona Westover Guild and loves volunteering because of the great service, worthy cause and the wonderful people.
Bobbie: She has an amazing love for Seattle Children’s Hospital and enjoys the "Monday Crew."
Jane: She says, " I love it and it lives in my heart!"

Mission Statement
Seattle Children’s Hospital Bargain Boutiques exist to provide support for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s, and to ensure that no child will be turned away because of inability to pay medical costs. To foster this support, our goal is to provide quality new and used merchandise at fair prices in a pleasant environment. Seattle Children’s was founded in 1907 to establish care for the community’s poor and disabled children. Retail had its origins after WWI, when guilds sold war surplus to raise funds. Seattle Children’s Retail is now made up of six stores. Seattle Children’s Retail is a charitable organization, principally located in Seattle, Washington. Information (including financial information) about Seattle Children’s charities can be found on the Office of the Secretary of State’s website at https://www.sos.wa.gov/charities/, or by calling 800-332-4483.
