Do you enjoy being useful? If you're looking for a cheerful place to meet friendly people and make a big difference every time you volunteer, then GREATER GOODS THRIFT STORE is the place for you! Greater Goods Thrift Store sells gently used clothing, furniture and household items at extremely low prices. Inventory is provided by community donations, and operations are supported by a network of very special volunteers. We are located at 114 Rogers Avenue in Hightstown. Whether your specialty is being creative, organized, strong, reliable, friendly, or good at spotting top name brands, there's a place for everyone (and never a dull moment) here! Volunteers are needed Mondays through Sundays for a wide variety of tasks. You may choose to help sort, tag and display clothing and other items. Help is also needed to pick up furniture donations, appraise valuable items, create artistic displays, produce or distribute advertising materials, sell items online, and many other important jobs. We also welcome reliable volunteers with retail experience to be trained as cashiers. Retirees, students, homemakers, and service groups are especially encouraged to apply (but everyone is welcome!) Bilingual volunteers are also greatly needed. Want to find out more? Come visit during store hours: Mon.- Sat. 10 AM - 7 PM and Sunday 11 AM -4 PM. If you like what you see, introduce yourself to the manager and ask for a volunteer application. We hope to see you soon! NOTE: New volunteers are asked to participate in an orientation session. Scheduling for volunteer shifts is extremely flexible, according to your availability. You can select a time slot at the following website: https://njrise.org/volunteer/

ELLs on the Rise is one of the educational components of the non-profit Rise Community Partnership. This is an opportunity to become involved in educating a wonderful group of adult immigrants (English Language Learners) who have a great need and desire to learn English. Most of the incoming students are Spanish-speaking, so we are particularly interested in qualified bilingual volunteers. English speakers with an interest in education and community service, retirees with some experience in this field and those who are tech-savvy and have experience in virtual learning are also welcome. Training will be provided for prospective teachers and aides. We will be following all CDC guidelines with regard to COVID-19 restrictions, as need be, as we plan for in-person classes, as well as a virtual component. Volunteers need not commit to all hours mentioned, but rather, may participate in individual classes.
