Volunteer to support Vancouver General Hospital!
The VGH Thrift Store is a not-for-profit organization. Our goal is to run an inclusive and community driven operation; and to raise funds in support of patients, clients and families served by Vancouver General Hospital (VGH), UBC Hospital and other facilities and community services of Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) in Vancouver. We are looking for hard working, dependable people to help with customer service, sorting and pricing donations, and tidying and merchandising our terrific little store. We ask volunteers to commit to one three hour shift a week for at least four months.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
We are an inclusive and very positive space to volunteer in. If you can roll up your sleeves and pitch in, and you get along well with others, you'd fit in well. Most volunteers make fast friends with fellow volunteers and customers. The store is a very social place. Many new Canadians find work experience with us, as do high school aged students, and senior citizens. And there is satisfaction in knowing your efforts benefit VGH and UBC Hospital. We are 100% not-for-profit.
