Thrift Store Volunteers
Suitable for Seniors
At The Second Door, we recognize the value of the forgotten and the timeworn, offering unique pre-loved items, as well as those that never even made it off the shelf. You will find an array of new, used and slightly bruised items for home, kitchen and personal use. With the assistance of volunteers, donated items are turned into funds that the food bank uses for food and operational costs —every purchase helps to support those in the community who need it most.

As representatives of the food bank off-site, Volunteer Drivers will interact with donors and suppliers on our behalf and should be capable of heavy lifting and working in fast-paced and ever-changing environments.
Drivers interested in supporting Hamper Deliveries to food bank families will be subject to additional screening requirements (not required for all Volunteer Drivers).
General Warehouse Volunteers support the Operations Team with the receipt, storage and preparation of food and non-food products to facilitate food bank programs and services. Duties include tasks such as sorting, repackaging, hamper building and bundling, in addition to maintaining general warehouse organization and cleanliness. These tasks are done safely and effectively through detailed processes while adhering to food safety guidelines.
