Thrift Shop Volunteers
MEOW Charity Thrift Shop Volunteers are MEOW Foundation Ambassadors.
Retail and Receiver positions are confident and comfortable communicating with donors and customers.
Volunteer shifts are 3 to 4 hours.
Commitment
MEOW encourages volunteers to commit to a six-month period for their volunteer service. This will ensure that the volunteer has received the adequate training and is familiar with all policies and procedures. 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.
