Volunteering for the Salvation Army thrift store.......?

Question

Did you know that the Salvation Army thrift stores across this nation have lots of volunteer helpers? Are you aware that many or most of these stores always need additional volunteer workers? I am a volunteer who takes in all the donated books, prices and shelves them, discards old books, and keeps the shelves neat. As a result, the book sales have sky rocketed. I try to keep the books in categories, such as fiction in one section, and then non fiction is broken down into history, cookbooks, crafts, computers, Christian reading, dieting, medical, and so on. It is very rewarding work, and I get to visit with some of the nicest customers. Would you like to volunteer? Wouldn't you like to be doing something good for a good organization? Your thoughts ?

Answer 1

I have always thought the Salvation Army was one of the best Christian organizations. They talk the talk and walk the walk. I think it is great you have volunteered in their store and are happy with what your doing and giving. In a sense, your working for God, and your paycheck is knowing you are doing good for others.

Answer 2

I have known for years that the Salvation Army is exactly how a charity should be run and while I'm not in a position to volunteer, I do have admiration for those who do.
