Are you ready to make a tangible impact in your community while working in a dynamic, ever-changing retail environment? Treasure Paws is seeking enthusiastic store volunteers to join our mission-driven team!

About Us:
Treasure Paws operates vibrant thrift stores that are fueled by the generosity of donors, dedicated employees, and passionate volunteers. Every store partners with an established animal rescue organization-donating a percentage of our monthly revenue-to help save lives. In addition, we work closely with local homeless shelters to ensure that excess donations reach those in need. By recycling and reusing goods, we not only support sustainable practices but also create meaningful opportunities for community engagement and job growth.

Your Role:
As a Store Volunteer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring our unique treasures-from a $1 t-shirt to a $10,000 painting-find new homes. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Sorting, pricing, and organizing a wide range of items
  • Assisting customers from all walks of life with friendly, helpful service
  • Creating an inviting and vibrant shopping environment
  • Helping to maintain our commitment to environmental sustainability and community support

Schedule & Benefits:

  • Discounts on Merchandise: We offer 25-50% Discounts to our volunteers.
  • Flexible Hours: Volunteers can work any day of the week from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM; Sundays are 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
  • Community Impact: Directly support animal welfare and provide for local community needs.
  • Valuable Experience: Gain hands-on experience in retail and customer service, and be part of a team dedicated to sustainable practices and community uplift.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to give back, learn new skills, and help create a more sustainable and compassionate future, we’d love to have you on our team. Join us at Treasure Paws, where every donation, every smile, and every effort makes a difference!

Ready to start your journey? Apply now and help us turn secondhand treasures into second chances.
