Guest Experience Volunteers help create a welcoming, dignified shopping experience for individuals and families visiting the Community Closet.
During Community Closet hours, volunteers will:
- greet guests
- assist with registration (familiarity with iPad helpful, but not required)
- offer wayfinding support while shopping
- connect guests to additional community resources when appropriate
By helping neighbors access free, essential clothing, volunteers play a direct role in easing household expenses and supporting financial stability. Program staff are always on-site to provide guidance and support. This role is a great fit for volunteers who enjoy meeting people and making a meaningful, people-centered impact in a fast-paced setting.
When?
- Tuesdays – 2:45pm to 5:15pm
- Wednesdays - 4:45pm to 7:15pm
- Fridays - 8:45am to 11:15am

The Community Closet is located at 705 S. 24th Avenue, Suite 440. The Community Closet is on the north side of the building, opposite to the United Way office.
