volunteers

One Week Boutique runs completely on volunteers. We need your help to set-up, staff and run the event. It takes a minimum of 150 volunteers to run this sale!

You DO NOT have to be a consignor to volunteer at One Week Boutique sale. Moms, pregnant moms, grandmothers, dads...anyone who wants to shop early for great deals can volunteer! We have sit down jobs, too!

If volunteers work an 8 hour shift (or two combined 4 hr. shifts) then you shop on Thursday, August 26 at 4PM; if you work a 4 hour shift during our sale then you shop at 5:30PM. You can volunteer for assigned times between Tuesday, August 24 and Tuesday, August 31.

NOTE: some shifts designated with (*) are shorter hours but count as a higher pass, what a deal!

DADS
We especially need LOTS of dads to help Tuesday, August 24 evening set up and Tuesday, August 31 evening breakdown–these are short shifts that earn BIG hours!

So remember...by volunteering at One Week Boutique you earn a pre-sale pass that lets you shop EARLY and get the best deals!

What will I do as a volunteer at One Week Boutique?

They are all fun jobs! You will meet other moms, dads and grandmas, aunts and sisters. Some of the things you may do are: help us keep the sales floor straightened and neat, replace tags that have fallen off, greet customers as they arrive, help sack purchased items at check out, assist customers in finding correct sizes or items. On drop off days you may be hanging merchandise as it arrives, on sorting day you will be helping us put unsold items under the correct consignor number for pick up. All the jobs are easy; we always say "if you can count to 50 you've got it made"! We need your help as this sale is very large and it takes numerous people to make it run smoothly from start to finish.

The complete volunteer worker schedule is below. If you would like to earn an 8 hour pre-sale pass, just choose any shifts that total 8 hours. These shifts can be on the same day or on different days.

CHECK THIS OUT: Volunteer both Tuesday, August 24 from 5:30-8:30PM and the following week on Tuesday, August 31 from 6-9PM for a total of 6 hours but earn the BIG 8 hour pass! We need 6 strong dads (or moms) to set up racks; if you cannot lift and carry please sign up for a different shift! Working both of these times (total of 6 hours) will earn you an 8 hour worker spot!!! WOW. Be sure to place your name on both shifts!

NOTE: We need a minimum of 20 volunteers on Monday, August 30th for an evening of sorting (7-10PM)! We also need 20 volunteers for Tuesday, August 31 (10AM-3PM) for the other half of sorting. Both of these are crucial shifts; it is not hard, we just need lots of hands! This is the Fall sale so there are MANY more clothes at this sale which usually means more to sort.

As soon as you click the shift, it signs you up for that shift; make sure it's the one you want. If it doesn't sign you up then the shift is already full. We will send you an email prior to the sale reminding you of your shifts. Volunteer Registration closes at 11:59PM on Monday, August 23 so make sure you choose a shift before that time!
