Volunteers are the foundation of the Thrift Shop’s success!

Volunteer roles include sorting donations, merchandising, cashiering and greeting customers.
We adhere to all COVID safety measures, including masks, regularly sanitizing surfaces, and limiting the number of people who can be in the space.

We are in need of donations of home décor, framed art, and jewelry.
