Thrift Shop Volunteers
Thrift volunteers are our foundation and our family. Without their support and dedication we could not complete our mission.
Various positions are available. Volunteer shifts are between 3.5 to 4 hours. Please see details below for information about specific shifts and duties. There are many ways to find an ideal task that suits you and your skills.
Commitment
MEOW encourages volunteers to commit to a six-month period for their volunteer service. In cases where a volunteer cannot commit to a six-month volunteer term, the volunteer coordinator may approve a short-term placement in accordance with operational needs.
