More Volunteer Opportunities:

Looking for flexible volunteer opportunities or only day of volunteering?

Book Sorting: help organize the donated books to prepare for our book sales. We would like to set up an initial time to give a brief walk through of the storage space and system, but after that, you can come when you want/are able to, no signups needed. That could be once a week or a handful of times during the year. Low commitment but makes a big impact on our fundraising!

Day of Book Sale Help: this is usually the day of which includes set up, clean up, cashiers, book sorters. Check in on this page for events looking for day of help and our facebook page.
