Volunteer Opportunities:
 Have you ever thought about volunteering at Ten Thousand Villages? We are always looking for new volunteers. Volunteers help in a variety of roles such as providing excellent customer service in the store, helping to unpack shipments, staffing tables at off-site events, keeping the store tidy, and other tasks as they come up. Most volunteers come in for one 3-hour shift per week. Read more at our website.
The next orientation for new volunteers will be on Tuesday, March 16. Email Ziggy Johnson for more information about orientation or if you have questions about volunteering.
