Areas we need volunteer help

  • Set up and break down of the sale (the Saturday before and the Saturday after)  Break down is especially needed in order to provide our consignors an easy and quick pick up.
  • Check-in (help ensure tags have the correct information, items work and are neat and clean, items with pieces are secure, and distribute items to the sale area)
  • Support help (keep items neat and organized through out the sale, keep hanging items in their proper size area, set up hold piles for customers, help the customer when there are questions).  Put up signs, organize items by category, size, type and/or gender
  • Marketing and Advertising (handing out or posting flyers around your neighborhood, business, PTA, sport events, mom's groups or children’s events)  Flyers and handouts are available for printing on our home page or here:  Sale Flyer 
  • Putting a Munchkin Junction sign in your yard.

Ways to earn volunteer hours

  • Each event , business or group that you provide flyers or handouts too, will earn you volunteer hours.  Type in the name & address of the business and/or date of the event when you sign up as a volunteer or send the information to Jodi
  • Allowing a sign to promote Munchkin Junction in your yard will also earn you volunteer hours. The sign needs to be placed in your yard or on property that you have received permission.  Contact Jodi if you plan on picking up any signs at our sign pick up night.   All signs need to be turned in on Sunday when you pick up your items and proceeds.  
  • Volunteers can break up their time however it works with their schedule
  • We will allow dads, relatives or friends to substitute for your requested volunteer time - as long as you let us know before hand.
  • Dads, relatives or friends can also volunteer to help you earn more hours - just schedule them!
  • There are many other ways to earn volunteer hours - contact Jodi if you have any questions.

    Dependability Clause

     

    We welcome you to be a volunteer and help us make this sale a success, but we need to be able to depend on our volunteers.  Since many of the volunteer hours will occur after the special volunteer shopping night, we need to implement a penalty for not showing up for your scheduled volunteered time. If you agree to volunteer and do not show or follow through, your percentage on your consigned items changes from 75/25 to 50/50!
