Sort Christmas Toys - now till December 18th!!!

Imagine a gym filled with toys, half for boys, half for girls. At The Salvation Army all the toys are in festive green and red bags, ready for mom or dad to take home for the holidays. With toys for over a thousand children, the gym is now very crowded but did not start that way. Toys trickled in and then began arriving by the truck load. The Salvation Army needs your skill to receive, sort and organize them! They need the hands of large and small groups, families and individuals, young and old.

Habitat's ReStore Warehouse

Warehouse Donation/Pick-Up

Help out in the warehouse, moving newly priced items out to the floor, helping donors by bringing donations into the intake area, and assist the Donation/Intake staff with paperwork, pricing, cleaning, etc. Assist with pick ups of donated materials by traveling with the driver on pick ups. Load donated items onto the truck, and unload at ReStore.

Must be able to lift 60 lbs. and enjoy working in areas that are not always clean (often donors are in the midst of remodeling and it can be messy!)
