Bartering is an extra opportunity for you to get in to shop early, get what you need to earn the EXTRA cash on your items, and to help us get the word out so there are more shoppers to buy YOUR items!
Most of our volunteers are in the same boat you are in. That's why we have so many barter jobs available as well as night and weekend shift work that will hopefully accommodate your schedule. We cannot allow your children to accompany you during your work shift, so if you cannot find a babysitter, check out the large number of barter jobs available, or you can send your husband to work a shift. You may also combine bartering with volunteer times at the sale to earn an earlier pre-sale pass. Posters or Fliers at Churches/Day Cares/Schools
