Family (Thrift) Store Helper
The Adult Rehabilitation Center of The Salvation Army offers men suffering from drug and/or alcohol addiction the opportunity to regain their self-respect and acquire the life skills needed to take their rightful place in society. The main funding for the center comes from income generated at Family Stores. You can be a part of this amazing program by volunteering at a store. Help prepare merchandise for sale, organize merchandise on shelves and racks, and remove older items that have not been sold. See how old, unwanted items can create a treasure for someone else.
Dates: Monday – Saturday
Times: Flexible, 3 or more hours during store hours
Locations: Blaine, Burnsville, Columbia Heights, Elk River, Minneapolis and St. Paul

Merchandise Sorter
The Salvation Army receives generous donations of used items to sell in our thrift stores. All donations are processed at the warehouse of the Adult Rehabilitation Center/Main Thrift Store. Groups of volunteers that can come in and help sort the items, especially the clothes, would be appreciated. Once the clothes are sorted, they will be loaded into trailers for delivery to stores. Volunteer groups should be between 10 - 15 people, and youth groups with chaperones are allowed. Volunteers do need to be able to lift 40 pounds. Volunteers should bring work gloves to wear while sorting. The warehouse is not climate controlled, so volunteers should dress accordingly. Food and beverages will be provided for volunteers.
