Volunteer: Donations assistant

Opportunity House Thrift Store is supported by donations of goods from the Bloomington community. Money raised from sales goes to support the programs of Btown Pathways, including their income based childcare and self sufficiency program.

Spring and summer are our busiest times for donations and we are seeking volunteers to assist our part time staff with receiving donations and organizing them. Good communication and customer service skills are a plus; some heavy lifting required. Shifts are flexible approximately 3 hrs once a week (or more if desired) between 10-3 Monday- Saturday.
