WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

We are currently seeking volunteers to help on Saturdays to get our store in order. We will welcome guests on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 1-3 pm. In order to catch up, we will also be working every Saturday from 10 am - 12 pm to process donations, organize the store, and pack bags to deliver to our partner agencies. (No guests will be shopping during these hours.) Strict COVID-19 safety protocols will be implemented.
