WELCOME VOLUNTEERS
WELCOME VOLUNTEERS
We’re so grateful you’ve chosen to be part of this community. Because of volunteers like you, we’re able to reduce textile waste, support local families, and create a welcoming space for everyone.
What to Expect: The Creemore Collective is a fast-paced, joyful, community-driven event. Volunteers help with welcoming guests, sorting donations, organizing tables, managing checkout, and keeping the space running smoothly. Every role matters, and we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and supported.
What to Bring: Comfortable clothing and shoes, a reusable water bottle, snacks.
Upon arrival we’ll provide: a quick orientation, your volunteer role assignment, a pink volunteer hat (official uniform!), ongoing support throughout your shift.
Our Goal: To create a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels respected — whether they are donating, shopping, or simply stopping by to connect.
Thank you again for giving your time and energy to support our community. We truly couldn’t do this without you!
