Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store Maintenance

Overview

Help keep the Meridian thrift store safe, welcoming, and functioning smoothly. As a Maintenance Volunteer, you’ll tackle small projects that might seem simple but make a big difference: hanging shelves, tightening hinges, replacing toilet flappers, securing bookcases, and light repairs. Every project you complete frees up our team to focus on what they do best—serving youth and families in our community.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work on a variety of small maintenance tasks around the store, from hanging shelves and securing bookcases to tightening hinges, replacing toilet flappers, trimming trees, and handling other light repairs as needed. We’ll give you a list of projects, and you can work at your own pace. Some tasks might take 30 minutes; others could be a few hours. You’ll have direct support from store staff, and we’ll provide tools and materials for each project.
