A key to our success as a store is our volunteers. Do you have some hours each week or month that you could "donate" in helping us with the store? Bring a friend and minister together! We have a huge need right now for people to come and help us sort through donations. Even if you can come "just once in a while" - we'd appreciate the help!
The process of becoming a volunteer is simple:
1) Contact us at 612-706-3223 and set up a time during regular business hours to come to the store. We will be happy to accomodate your schedule! Right now, we particularly need volunteers who are interested in working in the backroom, sorting items, pricing items, and hanging up clothes. It doesn't take long to "learn the ropes" and you'll be "processing goods" in no time!
