PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING BACK
Help Wanted... Would you like to offer a few hours on a weekly or monthly basis to help us out?
Someone with a van who can do a large donation pick up in Torrance in the am every other Tuesday is needed. Volunteer would pick up donations and bring them to the center with the paperwork to unload on every other Tuesday in the late am. Please contact me if you are available for this on a regular basis.
A licensed driver who is comfortable driving our truck is needed…no special license needed, as the size of the truck does not require this. Driver would pick the truck up at Orangewood Children’s Home and bring it to the store for us to unload and then take it back to Orangewood. We need someone on the 2nd and 5th Saturday, as well as every Tuesday. If you can do one or more of these days on a regular basis, please contact me.
Someone to set up our weekly silent auction is needed on Saturdays from 11:30-12:30. This volunteer would help finish out the auction at noon each Saturday, then set up the glass case in the front of the store for the next week. Please contact me if you are available to do this on a regular basis.
