The Volunteer Advantage - Anyone who volunteers for a 2-hour shift or more is eligible to make their purchases with a 50% discount at the end of their shift. Our volunteer policy allows volunteers to purchase any items that have been researched, processed, and priced by our trained pricing team. There IS AN ADVANTAGE that volunteers get to see items first because they are there working. We are grateful that this advantage is one way we can thank them for their tireless and constant service. Anyone can volunteer if they, too, would like to gain this advantage. We believe they will quickly learn that there are many amazing reasons to be a part of this team that go far above and beyond shopping.
