How do we THANK our volunteers?

*** VOLUNTEERS SHOP FIRST & EARN A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SALES!!!***

With an event of this size, we require lots of volunteers to help everything run smoothly.

Tasks volunteers are asked to help with may include: Setting up racks, sorting clothes, assisting shoppers, helping with check-out, etc.

• Volunteers who work ONE 4-hour shift receive a pass to enter and shop the Volunteer Presale THIRD and earn 70%of their sold items.
  • Volunteers who work TWO 4-hour shifts receive a pass to enter and shop the Volunteer Presale SECOND and earn 75%of their sold items.
    • Volunteers who work THREE 4-hour shifts receive a pass to enter and shop the Volunteer Presale FIRST and earn 75% of their sold items.

• ALL Volunteers also receive a pass to enter and shop the 50% off pre-sale one hour before we open to the publc.

NOTE: Volunteers that do not fulfill their shift obligations (or send a comparable replacement (a husband, friend, etc) in their place) forfeit their right to participate as a volunteer in the future. Please consider the importance of following through when you commit to a volunteer shift, we are really depending on you! Thanks!

*** Please leave the kids at home when you come to fulfill your shift obligation. We are unable to provide childcare – and you won’t be in a position to supervise them while working.

SUGGESTION: We have many volunteers that team up with a friend: One watches the kids while the other works a shift – and vice versa. It works out great and they each earn a pass so they can have fun shopping the presale together!

A small number of “Super Volunteers” work a minimum of SIX 4-hour shifts and shop before the Volunteer Presale starts so they can staff the Volunteer Presale (Super Volunteer program by invitation only).

VOLUNTEER “BARTER” OPPORTUNITIES:

There are a limited number of volunteer “barter” opportunities available.

“Barter” work shifts are limited to one per consignor, per sales event – all other volunteer shifts must be worked at the sale location.

Barter options count as ONE 4-hour volunteer shift (occasional exceptions apply).

SNACKS: Sign-up for snack delivery thru the volunteer menu – choose your day/time. Please bring snacks in containers that will not need to be returned to you.
Bring a snack to the sale location (snack includes drinks (water, soda, etc) (for 24) + snacks (for 24) + paper products if required). Snacks are to be dropped off any time during scheduled inventory “drop off” hours.

NOTE: In order to get credit for this volunteer option, you *must* sign-in when you drop off your snack
