Volunteering has so many benefits…
The clothing sales wouldn’t be successful without hours and hours from our dedicated volunteers! Volunteering at the sale is easy and fun, and in exchange for your time, you get to shop early for the best bargains AND save on commission if you are also selling! It is well worth it!
Work at least one 5-hour shift during the sale set up or sale day and you’ll get to shop at 6:30 am on sale day, get first pick of all the items for sale AND save 5% commission.
If you volunteer for 2 shifts, you’ll get to shop first AND save 10% of what you sell; an extra 5%!
Volunteers shop FIRST and earn MORE!
Sale Day Sample Volunteer Roles: (please note these are subject to change, and we expect all our volunteers to be flexible and help out where needed.)
Door: Volunteers will be assigned to collect admission ($3).
Set-up Friday shifts
Detagger: Removes clothing sale tags from items being purchased, stacks the tags and hands them to the cashier.
Bagger: As the detagger, you remove the tags, and the bagger places items in bags provided by POMBA.
Cashier: The cashier positions are assigned to volunteers (ideally with previous cashier experience, as this is a fast-paced job). The cashier scans the tags and completes the transaction.
Change Your Mind / Sale Floor: The Change Your Mind section is very busy. This is the area where shoppers can bring their items and spread them out on the table to take a closer look and decide what they want to keep. Volunteers who are working in this area are basically putting clothing and other items back in their proper places. An item that is not in the correct place is not likely to sell. Change Your Mind / Sale Floor volunteers monitor washrooms/back room, and rearrange items as the sale progresses (i.e. - move unsold large items to a more prominent area).
