    Description

    Donation Center Support Needed

    Jose’s Closet is a nonprofit that serves foster, kinship, and adoptive families by providing clothing, household items, and essential resources—all free of charge. Our donation center is at the heart of this mission, and we rely on dedicated volunteers to help keep everything running smoothly.

    We’re looking for dependable, detail-oriented volunteers to assist with:

    • Sorting incoming donations
    • Organizing donation storage
    • Hanging and maintaining clothing racks
    • General organization (hangers, shoes, books, toys)
    • Cleaning (bathrooms, trash, mopping/sweeping, wiping doors and carts)
    • Food pantry maintenance (stocking, cleaning, and monitoring expiration dates)

    For those interested in helping in our pantry, a valid food handler’s card is required.

    With your help, we can maintain a safe, welcoming, and positive environment for the families we serve. Volunteering at Jose’s Closet is open to all ages and is a great opportunity for individuals, families, and groups to give back together.

    We kindly ask that youth ages 14 and under volunteer alongside an adult. We also offer seated volunteer opportunities for those who may need that accommodation.

    Whether you’re looking to volunteer once, make it a monthly outing, or commit to a few hours each week, we welcome your support. We typically ask volunteers to serve at least two hours per visit to make the greatest impact.

    Our volunteer hours are Tuesday through Saturday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with Volunteer Nights from 5:00-7:00 PM on scheduled Tuesdays. We’re also happy to schedule Monday and evening opportunities for larger groups—just let us know what works best for you!
