Yard Sale is looking for help in the following areas:
Consignment
Help with selection/drop-off of decorative items to go to consignment stores. (Includes tracking sales and picking up items at the end of consignment).
Yard Sale
Volunteers are needed to:
- Be at the warehouse to accept donations (times/days can be arranged according to volunteers schedule)
- Work at the warehouse sorting, organizing and pricing the items for the sale. Pricing is not a hard as everyone makes it out to be – it will all be explained. (Time/days can be arranged according to volunteers’ schedule)
- Help at the yard sale from Wednesday through Saturday (not the entire time!) to learn all that goes into setting up/tearing down the sale.
