Reuse Center Volunteer Shifts

We offer several types of volunteer opportunities at our Reuse Arts Center:

Bag + Box Processing

For detail-oriented folks who love sorting, organizing, and supporting some of the grittier aspects of our mission of reuse! This shift involves sorting through bags we have accumulated over the week, and separating them into different usable and unusable categories. Additionally, you will break down cardboard boxes for recycling.

Cleaning the Stores + Tidying The Yard

Take our handy dandy cleaning cart and make the stores sparkle! This cart comes with a checklist that includes all the possible cleaning tasks for each store along with a duster, wet wipes, and several cleaning products. Great for folks who like a clean space and have attention to detail! This shift also includes picking up trash from the yard and lot, tidying the front bed and entrance area, and making sure we look good on the outside as well as the inside!

Craft + Art Processing

For all of our crafty crafters! This involves packaging crafting material, testing supplies, sorting items, and tidying the sales floor.

Fabric + Upholstery Processing

For fabulous fabric fans! This includes cutting, measuring, and rolling fabric. From upholstery to quilting to apparel fabric, help us get it ready to put on the floor to sell.

Paper + Office Processing

This is a great opportunity for anyone with a real passion for ~school and office supplies~! Extra points if you have some skills and knowledge around paper and scrapbooking and of course like to tidy. This involves organizing binders, sorting paper and other items, and placing and pricing supplies.
