Organize Household Goods

Sales proceeds from New Life Furniture Thrift Store will help further our mission to furnish the homes of people in need. Similar to New Life Furniture Bank, our Thrift Store is dependent on donations and we’re now accepting a larger variety of furniture and other items such as home decor, rugs, clothing & jewelry, and much more!

We need volunteers to help us sort and prepare donated items for sale. Additonal duties may include moving inventory, setting up displays, assembling furniture, and pricing merchandise. Volunteers will work under the guidance of our store manager for this program.
