Reuse Center Volunteer Shifts
ORGANIZATION: The Scrap Exchange
Please visit the new page to apply.
We offer several types of volunteer opportunities at our Reuse Arts Center:
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
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.
Scrap + Barrel Item Processing (Afternoons only, no Wednesdays)
This shift involves sorting the barrel items and preloved materials we receive in bulk, such as pill bottles, medals, egg cartons, and more. This shift involves blue barrel section maintenance, packaging bulk items, and sorting items by color and size.
Tile, Wood, + Hardware Processing
This shift involves processing our hardware donations such as tools, paint, nails and screws, garden items, and more. It also involves culling and organizing our tile and wood section.
Yarn + Notions Processing
