DCHS's Main Shelter and Thrift Stores will be closed to the public on Monday, March 16 due to the winter storm.

Volunteer
at Thrift

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with a wide variety of tasks including customer assistance, sorting and pricing donations, stocking shelves and setting up displays. Shifts are available every day of the week, and we ask volunteers to commit to a 2- or 3-hour shift each week.

Cashier

Enjoy social interactions with our wonderful customers as you help them find treasures and check out their purchases.

Pricer

We aim to strike a balance: get the most we can for animals in need while providing a great deal to the humans in our community. It’s a gratifying feeling to see an item you just priced get snatched up as soon as it goes on the floor!

Sorter

Works with the public accepting donations and gets the first look at all of the unique treasures coming in the door.
