Habitat thrift store needs volunteers

The Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store is in need of volunteers.

The Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store in Sisters has an urgent need for volunteers to run the cash register and sort donations.

The store, which is the primary funding source for the very active Sisters Habitat for Humanity chapter, relies on volunteers year-round.

The winter is a tough time, because many of the regular volunteers are "snowbirds" who head to warmer climes in winter.

Volunteers are sought to work one day each per week. There are plenty of different activities available at the store and regular volunteers consider their work there more fun than labor.

The store has become a vital community resource. It not only raises money for Habitat's building program, it also offers a source of high-quality, inexpensive goods.
