‌Volunteer

The all-volunteer Episcopal Thrift House staff, made up of Redeemer parishioners and friends, works hard throughout the year to price donations, sort and process merchandise, help customers, and more. Thank you to our many volunteers and to Episcopal Thrift House Manager Diane Miles for their hard work!

Would you like to be part of this special team that gives back? The Episcopal Thrift House could use your help! Each volunteer shift is three hours, and three people work during each shift, giving you the opportunity to make new friends while making a difference in the community.
