The Once Again Shoppe Volunteer Application Form

Founded in 1993, the Penn Yan Area Council of Churches Community Action Inc., operating as Once Again Shoppe, acquired the building located at 100 E Elm Street, Penn Yan, New York 14527, with the mission of assisting the less fortunate residents of Penn Yan. Since then, our outreach has expanded to serve individuals beyond Penn Yan, while our core mission remains focused on supporting the underprivileged in Yates County.

We invite volunteers who share our mission and are eager to contribute their time and skills. The information provided through this form will be kept confidential and will assist us in identifying the most fulfilling and suitable volunteer opportunities for you.

 

The shoppe is open Monday and Tuesdays for sorting days from 8 am until Noon. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are shopping days as well, but sorting starts at 8 am and the shopping begins at 10 am, but a cashier would report at 9:45 for their position to help open the shoppe. The shoppe closes at 4 pm. The shoppe is open on Saturdays from 10 am until 2 pm with sorting beginning at 8 am. 

Volunteer Opportunities:

Cashier: Assist patrons in checking out their selected items using a straightforward cash register.

Heavy Lifter: Aid in the transportation of items from the intake area to the sales floor, as well as from the sales floor to the loading area for purchased goods.

Pricer: Daily donations require sorting to identify sellable items. Help us price these items for display. If you possess expertise in specific areas such as antiques, clothing, crafts, household goods, jewelry, linens, shoes, or toys, please let us know.

Sorter: Given that clothing constitutes the majority of our donations, we rely on a collaborative effort to sort through all the garments and hangers effectively.
