In the Home Store:
Donation Pick-up Driver
The donation pick-up driver will be on call one day per week to begin with. (Any donation calls received that week that require pick-up will be scheduled for that day.) The driver will report to the office in the morning to receive a list of all scheduled pick-ups and map out his or her route. We have a truck available for pick-ups.
This position requires some heavy lifting and receives heavy appreciation. We love our pick-up drivers!
Donation Pick-up Assistant/Navigator
The donation pick-up assistant/navigator will serve as an assistant to the pick-up driver one day per week. He or she will be responsible for helping the driver navigate smoothly to and from pick-up sites, as well as assisting in loading and unloading donated items. This position requires some heavy lifting and receives heavy appreciation. After all, what is a good driver without a faithful sidekick?

The cashier/customer relations specialist will be responsible for running the cash register and assisting customers with their purchases. Cashiers are needed during business hours (Wed-Sat 9am to 2 pm) We are always happy to have as many customer relations specialists as our building can hold! (And we have a big building!)
Receiving/Pricing Specialist
Receiving/pricing specialists will be responsible for receiving, logging, and pricing incoming donations as well as issuing receipts upon request. Receivers/pricers are needed during business hours (Wed-Sat 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) Again, the more the merrier! We can always use receiving and pricing volunteers.
