Clothing Sorter
Each week, we sort, tag and place on the floor over 1200 new articles of clothing, while rotating out older items in order to keep a steady flow of fresh merchandise for our customers! We are currently in need of up to seven volunteers each Monday for approximately 5 hours. We welcome individuals or small groups, and we need one-time volunteers as well as those who are able to help on a regular basis.
Volunteer Opportunities
- Host a clothing drive with your church, neighborhood, employer, or other group to help stock our shelves.
- Advertise for us by handing out flyers and door hangers to spread the word about the Thrift Store in your community.
