Consignors who complete ONE 4 hour shift earn 75% of their sold items. Consignors who complete TWO 4 hour shifts earn 80%. If you are not consigning with us at this sale, you can earn a pass to both of our pre-sales by volunteering for one 4 hour shift. Volunteer for 3 shifts and be amongst the first to shop!

We promise a light-hearted atmosphere and yummy treats. Enjoy a few hours away from home with some pretty cool adults, who promise not to ask you to pour another glass of milk, or expect you to change another dirty diaper!

Sign up on-line for the hours that you are available. We will make the sale a fun experience for all of our volunteers.

Below are some descriptions of job duties you may be performing for us at the sale. There may be additional duties as well, but we thought this would be a good guide as to what you can expect if you haven't volunteered with us before. We couldn't put this sale on without the help of our amazing volunteers!
