Your volunteering helps us build community.
Our thrift stores provide revenue which subsidizes the administrative overhead of our affiliate, allowing more donor dollars to go into our families, providing them the strength, stability, and independence they need to create a better life for themselves and their families. Thrift store volunteers help by cleaning and sorting donations, stocking shelves, and providing customer service.
How To Volunteer
