Duties and Responsibilities

Upon arrival at Sharia's Closet, volunteers will be presented with several opportunities related to the operational needs of the Closet. Volunteers may select how they want to support! Options may include, but are not limited to:

• Sort & Quality Check: Quality check and sort incoming donations into bins that will be used to replenish shelves. This activity may occur outside at folding tables, weather permitting.
• Restock: Survey the shelves of the closet and identify items that need to be replenished. Pull from bins in Replenishment to restock shelves. When replenishing, please make sure items are nicely folded and presentable on the shelves. If time permits, colorizing would be amazing, too!
• Personal Shopper: Sharia's Closet receives over 30 orders a day from people requesting clothes. The Personal Shopper reads over the order sheet, hand-selects items that meet the client's requests, and places these items into a purple bag.
• Runner: Sometimes the size or color of the item that the Personal Shopper needs is not available on the shelves. When this happens, the Personal Shopper can ask the Runner to go over to Replenishment to see if we have the items.
