How do I sign up to volunteer?
Simply call or email ReTails Thrift Shop to get started! A ReTails representative will contact you within about 48 hours to arrange your volunteer orientation visit."
If you'd like, you may also download and complete a Volunteer Profile Form. (If not, we'll get the critical information from you during your orientation.)
What do ReTails volunteers do?
ReTails Thrift Shop depends on volunteers for its everyday operations.
Our volunteers receive donations, sort and prepare donations for selling, restock merchandise, keep the shop clean, and explain our mission to customers. They also answer telephone calls, respond to emails, keep records, and provide professional services.
ReTails is a clean, fun and stimulating environment to be in! Our volunteers love animals and want to help end their suffering. They also love seeing (and buying) the interesting treasures that are donated to ReTails by our supporters. We don't handle animals, so no animal experience is needed.
As a new volunteer, you will complete a Volunteer Profile Form, attend an Orientation Tour, and train with other volunteers or staff members.
Shifts are available in the morning, afternoon, and evening-weekdays or weekends. The length and frequency of your shifts depends on your availability.
 Read about some of our volunteer opportunities by visiting the AnimalKind listings at VolunteerMatch.
How will my volunteer time make a difference?
100% of profits from ReTails Thrift Shop benefits THE $20 FIX, AnimalKind's targeted spay/neuter financial assistance program that addresses pet overpopulation at its very root.
The volunteer time of just one person (that's you!) working at ReTails even twice a month can prevent the suffering and needless killing of hundreds--even thousands--of cats and dogs.
Yes, we said thousands. Hard to believe? Read on!
While private donors and foundations have been an important source of start-up funds, ReTails Thrift Shop will be the primary funding source allowing THE $20 FIX to continue to increase the number of surgeries funded each year.
THE $20 FIX has funded spay/neuter surgeries for more than 10,000 cats and dogs of low-income pet owners since May of 2004, preventing the suffering, neglect, and needless killing of literally millions of future offspring.
Hundreds more have already been approved and are scheduled for surgery. These are pets that likely would not be altered without the financial assistance of THE $20 FIX.
Thanks to people just like you who volunteer their time at ReTails, we expect to be able to spay/neuter many more.
Join the action at ReTails today. We'd love to have you!
Other Volunteer Opportunities
ReTails Thrift Shop is where the greatest number of AnimalKind volunteers are needed, and it is a great place to get familiar with our organization and mission.
However, there are other opportunities to apply your time and talent to the mission--chatting with the public at community events, keeping THE $20 FIX applications stocked in the community, researching NC's spay/neuter programs, calling AnimalKind's supporters to check in, and a variety of interesting tasks in other areas.
Please visit VolunteerMatch or simply contact AnimalKind and let us know your areas of interest.
