Volunteer

Enjoy Fun, Fellowship & Friends!

Get a discount in the store, make friends with the nicest people, and eat the best goodies.

We gladly welcome everyone! You can volunteer when it’s convenient for you – one hour a week, a half or full day, daily, once a month, with your youth group or ladies’ group. Groups are asked to contact the store (a month ahead, if possible) to let us know when you are coming. It is also appreciated if individuals could let us know in advance which day(s) you plan to volunteer.

Contact us to discuss volunteering at New Day Thrift Store.

Current volunteers can go through Sign Up Genius to schedule your shifts.

“Volunteers are not paid. Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.”

What YOU Can Do

New Day Thrift Store is operated mainly by volunteers. There is a paid manager and a few other paid positions, as we find it necessary to have paid staff to run the store and ensure we can open the store. EVERYONE ELSE IS A VOLUNTEER! We always need and welcome new volunteers. There are many different areas where we could use your help:

  • Accept donations
  • Sort donations
  • Test electronics
  • Clean pictures & frames
  • Make string tags
  • Hang & size clothing
  • Sort hangers
  • Organize plastic & paper bags
  • Sort & clean shoes
  • Price/Cashier – with experience
  • Stock shelves & clothing racks
  • Bag purchases
  • Clean the store – vacuum & dust
  • Wash glassware
  • Work on displays
  • Assist with special sales/events
  • Floral arranging
  • Help with building and grounds
  • Donate handmade items for the store to sell
  • Work in warehouse – strong people needed

This list is endless, and we welcome your time, talents, and suggestions!
