More about volunteering...
All volunteer consignors can make up to 75% on all sold items when they volunteer and are given the opportunity to shop early! AND, checks for all volunteers who are consigning will be sent the day after the sale ends!!
16-hour Volunteer: Shop the pre-sale immediately after Team Leads and 24-hour volunteers! And...receive 75% profit plus $11 consignor fee waiver

Set-Up and Breakdown Teams: (Strong/Energetic people needed!) These are 6-hour set-up and break down shifts. These shifts qualify for the 12-hour volunteer presale AND qualify for 75% for volunteers who are consigning AND qualify for the $11 consiignor fee waiver. Shop early or get a pre-sale pass for someone else!
NOTE: You may divide your volunteer shift(s) into more than one shift and they do not need to be worked on the same day or by the same person...we love teenagers, husbands and grandmothers too!
Most common JBF volunteer positions
Inspection/Check-in: You would inspect clothing, shoes, toys before consignors place them on the sales floor. If you pay attention to detail, we need you here!
Check-out: You would scan tags as shoppers check-out and counts the number of tags. If you can count to 50 and multi-task, you're perfect for this job!
Sales Floor: You will float on sales floor, checking for dropped items, missing tags, straightening clothing on racks and tables, or hanging-up items that weren't purchased. If you can move from area to area and spot a potential mess of items, then this would be a great job for you!
Greeter: You will greet shoppers at the door, tag personal strollers and carriers, check for any appropriate pre-sale passes, and then direct customers to various areas for shopping. If you can talk, smile and be friendly to others, this job would be a super fit for you!
Jack-of-all-Trades: If you can do any or all of the above, then we have hit the jackpot! Sometimes, we may need you at one position and then switch you to another as shifts and numbers of shoppers change. Working at a JBF sale is so much fun and we always need your help. Please sign-up for as many shifts as you can comfortably work!
What to Expect?
Please remember that you need to be comfortable. We recommend wearing close-toed shoes that give you lots of support. And please wear clothing that lets you move easily.
Snacks will be provided, but if you have special dietary needs, you may want to bring a private stash. We will have soft drinks on hand as well as lots and lots of water!
If you are working over a meal time (say, a 10-2 shift) you are welcome to bring a sack lunch or heavy snack. We will have fridge and microwave you are welcome to use. Meals are only provided for Team Lead volunteers and staff.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your shift starts and we will train you on all you need to know! See you there!
