    Description

    Be the Welcome!

    Partner with another volunteer to be the welcoming presence that helps guests feel valued from the moment they arrive.

    You’ll create an inviting lobby space, manage our fair-access lottery system for guests waiting to shop, keep the coffee flowing, and serve as a friendly connector between guests, volunteers, and staff.

    This brand new role means you’ll help shape it as we go – perfect for someone who enjoys variety, stays calm during busy moments, and genuinely loves interacting with people. Your warm presence transforms what could be a stressful experience for someone seeking help into one of dignity and community support.

    Available Shifts: Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday 9:15-11:30am – Wednesday 3:15-5:30pm – Friday 8:30-10:30am

    No experience required – we’ll provide complete training and ongoing support.
