Thrift Store volunteer

Save to Favorites

We strive to be a nearly 100% volunteer run organization. By volunteering, you have an enormous impact on the community - particularly in the senior community.

Volunteers can help in a variety of ways in our thrift store including:

• Greeter - Make someone's day by welcoming them in, showing them our discount wheel and letting them know how their dollars are being used to help local seniors - one of our most important positions!

• Cashier - This is another vital volunteer role. As a cashier, you have the opportunity to make a wonderful lasting impression on our customers while you offer a free reusable tote for signing up on our VIP email list, explain the benefits of rounding up their purchase and explain how the giving wall works.

• Bagger - Volunteer baggers help the cashier by wrapping and folding items into our bags

• Retail Assistant - Our retail assistants keep our retail floor looking neat and tidy by straightening up clothing racks, shelf items, dressing rooms and restocking shelves.

• Receiving Donations - We rely entirely on donated items - they are a precious as gold! We need volunteers with friendly dispositions and strong backs to help receive donated goods.

• Donation Sorter - Our sorters help keep our backroom neat and efficient. This role requires a discerning eye to spot the hidden gems, the vintage, and luxury items to be sold online.

• eCommerce - This is an entire division of the store where we photograph, post and sell items online both locally and nationally.

• Pricing and Tagging Items - This volunteer tags the items and determines their price - a critical role at the thrift store.

• Cleaning - Although everyone participates in keeping our stores neat and clean, this volunteer will sweep, mop, dust, sanitize, and clean as needed.

• Special Events - Love to plan parties and events? We need you! We are always looking for new and fun ways to raise money and to give back to the community.

• Volunteer Coordinator - The volunteer coordinator is responsible for managing all elements of volunteering. They source and recruit volunteers, arrange for training, assign responsibilities and manage schedules.

Volunteers can also help in our office:

• Administrative / Office Assistant - Help our executive director, program director, and store operations manager with office duties. This volunteer role will include helping to enter data, organizing files, sending out mailing and thank you letters and other duties as assigned.
