Thrifty Threads & Treasures Volunteers
Our thrift store is an extension ministry of Ashure Ministry and provides quality items at affordable prices to bargain shoppers and everyone in the community. 100% of all thrift store proceeds are directed to the crisis ministries that serve our community.
I so enjoy getting to meet the customers. I have helped little children find new-to-them clothes for school and watched as their eyes light up. I have seen the smiles of gratitude in the eyes of a mother who feels she can actually provide that new-to-her-child outfit for the first day of classes. It means so much to me to be able to share in these special moments and provide hope.
Volunteer Opportunities
Customer Service
A major part of a thrift store volunteer's job description is to assist customers. Volunteers answer customer questions about products and help them find items if they are looking for something specific.
Sort Donations
We remain grateful for the large number of donations we receive. It is important that the donated items are in good condition for customers to buy. Volunteers, with the help of the manager, sort through items to check for broken, chipped, or damaged items. They also look for permanent stains or tears in clothing.
Stock Donations
Every day, our thrift store receives new items, and our volunteers categorize and place items on the shelves or racks. Items that have been on the sales floor for the designated timeframe are removed and placed in proper bins. Volunteers may also be responsible for placing the price tags before stocking.
Store Assistance
Our amazing thrift store volunteers help maintain the store's physical appearance by keeping shelves neat, returning misplaced items to appropriate places, and tidying up if needed.
