We need YOU!

 

Volunteers are a vital part of making our sale run smoothly. We need all the help we can get as our volunteers are not limited to our MOPS mamas or our Consignors. We welcome help from all willing and able friends, grandparents, church members, community members, and other capable individuals.

Consignors who also volunteer will receive an additional percentage of their sales back as stated in the Consignor Agreement.

 
 

Shifts & Benefits

Each volunteer shift is 4 hours.

In return for working one shift, each Volunteer will receive a ticket to shop the Preview Sale from 5 PM, which is before the Consignors.

Volunteers who work two or more shifts are considered Super Volunteers, each receiving a ticket to shop the Preview Sale from 4 PM.

 

Volunteer Preview Sale Information

Each Volunteer must have a ticket to enter the Preview Sale.

Volunteers can pick up their ticket before their shopping time at the entrance. Volunteers who are also Consignors will receive their ticket during their drop-off shift. Your ticket will state your shopping time, which will correspond to how many volunteer shifts you have signed for.

In order to keep our Preview Sale an intimate and exclusive event, only the Volunteer and their young kid(s) will be admitted with each ticket. Family members, friends, and others will not be admitted unless they have also volunteered the required hours. Thank you for understanding.

 

What to Expect as a Volunteer

  • Please arrive 15 minutes early for your shift. Check in at the Volunteer table, where you will sign in, receive a name tag, and receive some training for your assignment. As a Volunteer, you may be asked to help arrange products on the sales floor, sort clothes, greet shoppers, etc. We ask all our Volunteers to be flexible and willing to have fun while working hard.

  • You will be on your feet for most of your shift, so wear comfortable shoes.

  • Please leave valuables at home. We do not have a safe place to store them while you work.

  • We suggest you bring a water bottle and snacks, so you can take quick breaks during your shift.

  • Children are not allowed to accompany anyone during their shifts. The only exception is for young infants who are able to be worn in a sling or wrap the entire shift. There is a limited number of jobs that can be done while wearing a baby, so please email our Volunteer Coordinator to be assigned accordingly.

Job Descriptions

Please look over the jobs below and get familiar with what you might be asked to do.

 

Sale Set-Up (Thursday)
During set-up, we will assemble racks and shelves and get the sale floor positioned for our sale. Men are welcome! This shift is not suitable for those with problems bending or lifting. This shift is not suitable for infant-wearing moms.

Drop-Off (Thursday)
During drop-off, Consignors will bring their items to our sale. After all the items are inspected by our quality control, your job is to sort and organize the items on the sales floor. You may also be asked to assist people with items from their cars.

Quality Control (Thursday)
This job will consist of inspecting the items that are brought in by the Consignors. Your job is to see if items have been tagged properly (attached correctly, the correct color paper, etc.), that clothing is in good condition, and that all toys and gear work properly.

Greeter (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday)
Our greeters need to be friendly and outgoing. For this job, the greeter will welcome each shopper, hand out shopping bags, and tag shoppers’ personal items. They will stay by the door and allow people into the sale as determined by the Sale Coordinators.

Sales Floor (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday)
This is an important job! These volunteers keep our sales floor neat and tidy. You will be asked to straighten racks and tables. Make sure items are in their proper spots, and also put back items that were not purchased. You are also there to direct and assist shoppers.

Holding (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday)
There are a lot of great items at the sale, and sometimes we get more than we can carry. Holding is where people can drop off their items to be held for an hour and returned to them before they purchase. In this job, you keep track of items on hold. This job is a great job for someone that needs to sit during a shift.

Check-out Sales (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday)
Checkers are responsible for scanning all tags, totaling sales, and receiving payment from Shoppers. They can pay attention to detail while working quickly while under pressure.

Check-out Baggers (Thursday, Friday, & Saturday)
Baggers are responsible for bagging all items and working together with the checker to make check-out a breeze. A bagger may also be responsible to check items and receipts at the exit to make sure everything has been paid for.

Sort (Saturday)
The sort begins after the sale closes on Saturday at 12 PM. We will be sorting all items that go back to Consignors (yellow tags) and all items to be donated (white tags). Attention to detail is a must for this job. Each volunteer that works or stays for the sort can pick 10 designated smaller items from the donate pile and pay only $1 for each item.

Tear Down (Saturday)
While the sort is happening, we will also need people to help tear down. Men are welcome and appreciated in this job. We need people to break down racks and shelves and help clean up wherever is needed. Each volunteer that works or stays for tear down can pick 10 designated smaller items from the donate pile and pay only $1 for each item.
