Complete a volunteer interest application and indicate what positions you are interested in. The following positions are available, but we value your time and skills so if you have ideas of how your skills could be better used at our furniture bank, reach out and we would be happy to make arrangements!

Take a look at our positions then submit and application to become a volunteer and we will be in touch!

What is a consistent volunteer? Consistent volunteers volunteer with us regularly. Some of our positions require some training so it helps to have volunteers who become familiar with the processes. If you plan to volunteer with us several times please submit this form.
