Find the Role Best for You
Shopping Assistants
As personal shoppers, these volunteers guide foster families through our boutique, help as they select items, and build rapport with the families we serve.
Shopping Assistants share their availability and Hope’s Closet handles scheduling appointments.
Arriving approximately 15 minutes before the appointment, volunteers ensure the boutique is ready and they warmly greet foster parents and children as they arrive. Appointments last 30-60 minutes.
Donation Sorters
Our volunteer donation sorters are critical to running our boutique. They ensure the quality of all incoming items and sort them by size and season.
Boutique Zone Helpers
Our boutique inventory is divided into zones (e.g. baby items, shoes, special occasion) and zones are managed by volunteers who keep the areas organized and stocked with quality items for the children we serve.
Special Events Volunteers
Throughout the year, Hope’s Closet hosts several events for foster families and/or foster parents with the help of volunteers. Individuals and groups can be added to our special event volunteer list to be notified when needs arise.
