We have incredible volunteers and can always use more! If somebody wants to come volunteer for helping with inventory, especially at Christmas time, we definitely need help. Most of the women are dealing with drinking and drug issues; they might have detoxed, been to jail, been homeless, but they’re trying really, really hard. They are referred by different programs, and we don’t have social workers, so we work in tandem with another agency to do our best.
I had never worked retail before this. People don’t understand how hard people work. Nobody is gonna die if I don’t it, but it is hard work, a lot of physical and energetic labor. Everybody doing a good job is working really hard. Because we are a nonprofit, we can’t do e-commerce, as we are restricted as to how much we can mark things up. People are always telling us we could go higher, but we're not allowed to.
I would like them to understand it’s gonna make a difference. It not only helps the charity, but also to keep the program going. It may actually save somebody’s life.I’m proud of the women who have come to us and tried. Even the ones who haven’t reached what they wanted to, they tried. It’s hard. And that we survived the pandemic! I'm 66 and have multiple sclerosis — I'm tired! But the very first time somebody walked in and said,"This is my favorite store," my heart melted.
