Help turn community donations into something meaningful. Donation Processing Volunteers play an essential behind-the-scenes role at the Community Closet, preparing clothing so it’s ready for neighbors who need it. Each item you sort, inspect, hang, or organize helps create a welcoming, dignified shopping experience at no cost to those we serve.
Volunteers will:
- Sort and inspect incoming clothing donations
- Hang, size, and organize items on the shopping floor
- Help maintain a clean and orderly space
- Assist with special projects as needed
By helping prepare thousands of donated items, you directly support individuals and families working toward stability by reducing everyday expenses.
Program staff are always on-site to provide guidance and support. This role is a great fit for volunteers who enjoy hands-on work, staying active, and being part of a team effort that keeps things running smoothly.
