Volunteer

There’s no better way than offering your time and energy as a volunteer to show your appreciation to the veterans of our country. We would appreciate and value your time in helping to keep the store merchandise organized and restocked, sort clothing, and perform other work as needed. Contact the store number with any questions regarding volunteering and so that we can learn the hours you are available and what type of work you would like to contribute.

We also work with the "Court Referral Program" as an alternate sentencing option for the Superior, Municipal, Traffic and Juvenile Court systems here in Texas. Community service is considered restitution by an offender through helping his or her community. The service means actions, activity and engagement -- doing something that needs to be done and that helps the community or a cause. Contact the store and let us know how we can help each other.
