What's ashore

Donated finds, out on the floor.

Everything here came in through the front door as a donation. Furniture and housewares land where there's room, clothing gets racked by size, and the books keep coming.

Take a shift

Cashier shifts, around your week.

Volunteers keep the counter moving — greeting people, ringing up finds, and keeping the racks and counter in order. Tell the volunteer on duty when you're usually free and we'll match the shift to it.

  • Greet people at the door and the counter
  • Ring up finds and bag them
  • Keep the counter clear and the racks in order

Shifts are covered by volunteers, and the schedule is built around the hours you can give.
