Beverly Bootstraps is committed to providing a safe, welcoming facility to clients, volunteers, staff and donors. The Front Desk Volunteer should be an approachable, confident individual who will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Front Desk during the position hours.

Volunteers assist in HiSET (formally known as GED) Test Preparation and ESOL. Volunteers tutor students providing a positive and supportive environment in which the student can reach their full potential. The ideal volunteer will be flexible and patient while working with students in a small classroom environment.

The constant flow of donations makes the Thrift Shop a busy and exciting place to volunteer. Most volunteers find their own niche at the shop, be it sorting clothes, displaying items, marking housewares, helping at the register or keeping the shop appearance appealing to our customers.

We are always excited when young people want to give back to their community. We have various opportunities for youth 16 and up to volunteer independently.

Throughout the year we welcome groups of children to volunteer with our Thrift Shop. Almost one-third of the agency’s revenue comes directly from sales at the Thrift Shop so when you help sort, tag and organize merchandise, it’s like putting food in a client’s mouth. This group opportunity is great for clubs and families with older children.

During the school year we need groups to help us build weekend food bags. These bags will be distributed on a weekly basis to elementary age children that are at extreme risk and do not have access to enough healthy food on days they are not in school such as weekends and vacation weeks.

Are you looking for ways to have your children give back? If so, your family or group can volunteer to purchase and prepare snack bags for children right here in your own community.
