    Description

    Personal Shopper

    The Philadelphia Furniture Bank (PFB) is a centralized resource for furniture for human service organizations from across Philadelphia. Member agencies schedule appointments for their clients who then visit our showroom floor to choose their furniture to start fresh as they move out of homelessness. Each individual or family receives a full home’s worth of furniture, including brand new bedding. Since our founding, we’ve furnished more than 8,000 homes.

    Personal Shoppers are needed to support us with our client appointments. You'll be working directly with clients to review their information and walk the warehouse to choose their furniture. An agency iPad is used to track inventory throughout the appointment by our volunteers.

    If there are no appointments during your volunteer window, we also need support with organizing and sorting items for our pop-up shop where we place housewares that are donated and available to our clients.
