YOU

We are looking for volunteers to (wo)man our Thrift Shoppe just one day a week Wednesday through Saturday from 9am to 2pm.  We have a couple working Saturdays who is looking to share that shift with another volunteer during the month.   Working as a volunteer one day a week is a way to get out into the community and meet people.  It is a way to make a difference in people's lives.  Reach out to us.  We will support you and you will join a group of like-minded people who live to serve.
