Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer opportunities are available 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Additionally, some evening opportunities are available 5 - 8 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.
Volunteer jobs include tagging and hanging clothing, displaying items in the store, accepting donations (very limited as it involves outdoor work), monitoring the retail areas, and other assignments as needed. Some assignments include work that can be done while seated.
All Volunteers
With the exception of congregation volunteers on their congregation’s scheduled days, all volunteers need to coordinate their volunteer times in advance with the Store Manager (email theclosetinc@verizon.net). Whether from a congregation, a school, the community, a business, or pre-court services, all first-time volunteers must complete The Closet Volunteer Application. To save time when arriving at the store, the Volunteer Application can be downloaded, printed, completed prior to arriving at the store, and brought on the first time volunteering. It is available at this link: The Closet Volunteer Information.
The email for the Store Manager is theclosetinc@verizon.net
