Volunteer Information
Thank you in advance for volunteering your valuable time. Sweet Repeats, formerly Jack and Jill, would not be possible without the help received from our AWESOME volunteers. We have been blessed with the most AMAZING group of women (and few men!) who work this sale.
We have numerous volunteers that have been with us for many years, and they are always the first to sign up at each sale. If you have never volunteered before, we hope you will consider doing so.
Yes, there are benefits to volunteering, such as shopping early, but there is definitely more to it than that. We all have so much fun working the sale and being a part of the Sweet Repeats family. We want to ensure that everyone is served well and that they leave Sweet Repeats having a better day than when they arrived. Volunteers make that happen!
What do volunteers do?
Volunteers are a vital part of our sale and help in every aspect of making the sale run smoothly. There is a job for everyone.
At drop-off, volunteers may be putting clothing and items out on the floor after they are checked for quality as well as organizing the floor as new items arrive.
During the sale, volunteers make sure the racks and tables are orderly and tidy. They watch for clothing that has fallen on the floor, as well as customers that need assistance. As things sell, they will be consolidating racks and tables for a better presentation.
During sorting, volunteers assist in breaking all the clothing and items back into consignor numbers. We have an excellent system for this, and the volunteers make it happen very quickly!
Most importantly, our volunteers make everyone—from a consignor at drop-off to a customer at the actual sale—feel like they are #1!
Why volunteer?
Our volunteers are the very first group to shop the sale, giving them the very best selection on all of the great deals.
Volunteers earn extra perks and higher percentages. (Dependent on shifts).
Volunteer shifts are 4 hours long, so you can choose your shifts to fit your availability.
It’s a great way to meet other moms in the area.
It’s A LOT OF FUN! We know your time is valuable, and we are honored you choose to spend some of it with us. If you have never volunteered before, give it a shot. We think you will LOVE it!
Details:
Shifts are all 4 hours long.
You do NOT need to be a registered consignor to volunteer for a shift! If you just want to volunteer and check things out, we will take your willing hands and smiling face!
If you are a registered consignor, a husband or parent may fulfill your volunteer shift, and you may use the Pre-Sale Pass, but please let us know who we should expect. (Husbands are great for set-up day or breakdown).
Volunteers must be 17 years or older.
Volunteers can NOT bring children with them for their shift. This is purely for safety purposes. Please make arrangements to leave the little ones at home! If you sign up for a shift and do not have childcare, you will be asked to reschedule your shift.
Volunteers should be physically able to perform the duties described in the shift description that they register for. If you have physical limitations, but would still like to volunteer, please contact us so we can find a shift to best suit your abilities. There are plenty of tasks for everyone!
While we appreciate any volunteer, we do depend on your commitment to be there. If you volunteer, we are counting on you! If you are unable to make your volunteer shift, please try to find someone else to cover it, as we greatly depend on our volunteers! If you are unable to make your shift with no one to cover it, but you have already shopped the Pre-Sale, your consignor percentage will be reversed—30% to you and 70% to Sweet Repeats. Please understand that these guidelines have been put in place to maintain a high-quality sale.
