We welcome you to join our village of volunteers! As a nonprofit store, volunteers are crucial to our success, helping us to keep our overhead costs lower, which allows us to purchase more from artisans. Apply now to join our fun-filled volunteer positions—greeting and interacting with customers, unpacking and checking orders, assisting with displays and operating the cash register. We welcome volunteers any time of the year.

Let us know you’re interested by filling out an application at our store. You can also contact our store for more information.

Board member, Lyla Bendsen is the chair of our Volunteer Committee.

Volunteers are an essential part of the store operation. This assures the fairest income for the artisans and presents a service opportunity for interested community members.

We have many opportunities for service. One is unloading the products for the store and pricing and stocking them.

Sales associates: Volunteer four or more hours per month to assist in sales. Training sessions are ongoing.
