We’re looking for people who don’t just want to “help” — but want to build something meaningful.
RePurpose is ideal for you if you:
- Have an eye for fashion, styling, or merchandising
- Love organizing, sorting, and creating order from chaos
- Enjoy engaging people and inviting friends to experience something special
- Want hands-on experience in community-based fundraising
What we especially need:
- Donation sorting and quality control
- Hanging, tagging, and moving inventory into curated sales areas
- Visual merchandising and display setup
- Friendly, confident volunteers who can help create an inviting shopping experience
Unicorn Level Volunteers (Yes, We’re Serious):
If you enjoy online marketing, Facebook Marketplace, or social selling — and are willing to help feature items midweek for pickup during Friday/Saturday event hours — we want you.
These skills directly increase fundraising revenue, and that translates into more food, more classes, and more programs.
RePurpose works best when volunteers treat it like a mission-driven event — not just a shift.
If that’s you, we’re ready for you.
