Needs From: Volunteer United

Helping around the store organizing anything from the kitchen items, to the kids items, to sporting goods, or building materials.

Helping to sort metal from either scrap or unusable items. Separating out unusable components and helping us recycle.

Help us clean the insides and outsides of the windows that are accessible. Must be comfortable on a step ladder. No one will be asked to do anything they feel uncomfortable doing. Some exterior windows are reachable without a ladder.

We showcase most of our nicest china sets on tables, shelves, and hutches where they get dusty as time goes on. Helping them get clean enables them to find a new appreciative home sooner.

We have many categories of items that need researching and pricing. If you like to look up info on your phone and help us price items from books to toys to vintage clothing to artwork and more then this is the task for you.

We have bed and table linens that need to be measured and labeled.

We believe very strongly that books should never be thrown out unless they are damaged through water, rodents, fire, etc.

So we have A LOT of books and love when people come out to help us sort and shelves the newest donations as well as research and help us price them. We try to use ABEbooks.com as a basis and we have found them to be most fair. If you disagree we are welcome to talk about it and learn from new information provided to us. 

Help us save the written word in all the books we can.

Toilet paper

We are a not for profit that looks like a second hand store but we are more than that. We are a place other not for profits can consign items to make up funds out to get items for free or at a discounted price. We also sell to the public and have local artists and community members that sell items.

We strive to keep anything we can out of the landfill and we fix it upcycle what we can, and encourage customers to do the same of many objects in the store. 

We need your help writing grants because we are not good at it or don't know what we are doing. We have been around for 10 years through pure determination and many many volunteers. Please help us continue. Our rent has tripled and we have other expenses we would like to maintain.

Help stage and take pictures of items to post on social media accounts with tags.

Help develop and maintain other forms of social media such as YouTube, tik tok, etc.

Most of us are out of the loop as to what the young folks are into these days and we need help getting the information out about us and selling items for us and other not for profits
