We ask all members to join us in following the Golden Rule:
Treat others as you would like to be treated. • Respect yourself, other customers, and
our volunteers by your words and actions. • Profanity and aggressive behavior is not acceptable. • Be gentle with children and keep them with you. • Keep refreshments (food and drinks) in the hospitality area. • Keep to your monthly limits. This assures everyone can receive their share.
How do I donate items? You may drop off your items 9 am-noon on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Go to the single glass door, south of the main entrance, on the west side of the building.
How can I volunteer? Lots of ways to help: check in and check out people, help people find things, take donations, sort through donations, clean up the store after it closes, etc. All volunteers are required to have a background check and fill out a volunteer covenant. Please talk to one of the Overflow helpers. They will be able to give you a packet of sign up documents to get you started.

OUR LOCATION
