VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do!
Blessings Thrift shops have been part of the Palmerston & area communities for many years. Our culture of volunteerism, and commitment to being a valued partner, is evident in everything we do.
We are currently looking to fill a few gaps for volunteers to support the retail aspect of the operation. Clerks provide the front-line customer service: handling cash transactions (ringing up purchase into cash register, handling change, and bank deposit) as well as helping with bagging and tidying up the store during opening hours. Each shift requires 2 clerks to ensure there is back-up for each other.
Scheduling is quite flexible within the store hours below. Our current amazing clerks have signed up for the dates & times that work best with their schedules – that’s how we work! We do, though, have some gaps which differ from month to month – that’s where the flexibility comes in. And training from well-experienced volunteers is happily provided 😊.
The store hours* are:
Tuesdays, 1:00 – 5:00
Wednesdays, 1:00 – 5:00
Thursdays, 1:00 – 5:00 and 5:00 – 8:00 (2 shifts)
Fridays, 1:00 – 5:00
Saturdays, 9:00 – 12:00
* Clerks are required to open the stores 15 minutes before each shift, and to process the bank deposit after closing. (Bank is nearby).
If you are interested, stop by either Blessings One (203 Main Street) or Blessings Two (237 Main Street), Palmerston, and ask for a Volunteer Application. If you have questions, email [email protected]
