VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR ALL SHIFTS AT VINNIES MORLEY
The St Vincent de Paul Society WA – fondly known as "Vinnies" – has been providing a "hand up" to people in need since 1865. They are a not‐for‐profit organisation aspiring for an Australia transformed by compassion and built on justice. They advocate on several pressing social justice issues such as homelessness, poverty and asylum seekers.
It is through your contributions as a volunteer that these charitable works are possible. Revenue raised through our retail shops is the driving force behind these works in the community – without them we simply couldn't operate as we do now. As such, volunteering in this area is a very rewarding experience.
Your experience as a Vinnies volunteer will always be varied and interesting, with the opportunity every shift to meet and engage with new people. Some of the key responsibilities of this role are:
* Greet and provide friendly service and assistance to visitors to the shop.
* Assist in sorting, pricing and ticketing donated items.
* Create visual displays.
* Assist with general housekeeping.
* Operate point of sale.
As a result of your involvement as a Vinnies volunteer, you can expect to:
* Make friends.
* Learn new skills.
* Have fun.
* Always be appreciated and valued.
* Be invited to several team functions throughout the year.
* Indirectly contribute to clothing, feeding and sheltering community members experiencing hardship.
* Experience greater health and happiness, as well as a range of other positive benefits proven to be associated with volunteering.
