Volunteer Needs
We always welcome new volunteers to our agency and our programs. Some volunteers have volunteered 4 hours a week since 1989, while others may volunteer at one or two fundraising events per year. We do our best to accommodate your interests and schedule, and our volunteer jobs are described below:

Top Drawer Thrift
Store clerks: processing donations, assisting with merchandising, customer service, and store cleanliness.
Furniture pick-ups: bringing larger furniture to the store from donor's houses. Great for volunteers with trucks or SUVs.
Weekday volunteers: help run the store during the day Monday through Friday.
