Why volunteer?Volunteering at Lopez Thrift Shop helps the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you. Volunteering can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving just 3 hours a month can help the Shop and and at the same time improve your health and happiness. The Lopez Thrift Shop has approximatlely 60 volunteers currently giving of their time and expertise. Volunteer opportunities are wide and varied at the Shop including shifts at the retail desk, customer service , and processing donated goods. We also put to use the special talents which experienced volunteers bring such as store development, transportation of goods, and administrative help. The store managers are happy to give you a tour and explore how you might find just the right activity for you. It's lots of fun. Some of us refer to it as our "social" time. |
