Shop Before the Crowd! (find out how...)

The Online Volunteer Scheduler is now closed. If you need to change your schedule or would like to volunteer, please contact Michelle directly. 573.202.4006 Thank you!

In order to have a successful sale, we need volunteers to help us! Volunteering is fun, easy and allows you to shop before anyone else from the great selection of items at each JBF sale. PLUS, you earn an extra 5% on your sold items. Sign-up to volunteer at Just Between Friends and shop before the crowd.

4-Hour Volunteer Privileges

NOTE: If you can't volunteer, but would like to shop early....check out our bartering opportunities!

NOTE: You may divide your four, eight or 12 hours into more than one shift and they do not need to be worked on the same day or by the same person...we love responsible teenagers, husbands and grandmothers!

We need a few guys (yes, they can volunteer for your SHOP EARLY PASS...or work four hours together!) to help set-up racks on Wednesday, September 10th, from Noon - 2:00 and/or to help with break-down on Saturday, September 12th from 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
~We would also love to have some fellows to help customers with loading some of the bulkier items during either Thursday Night or Friday Morning.

Below are some of the most common JBF volunteer positions:
Checkout: volunteer scans tags as shoppers check-out and counts the number of items. If you can count to 50, you're perfect for this job!

Sales Floor: volunteer 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 around the room and spot a potential mess of items, then this would be a great job for you!

Greeter:
volunteer 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!

Answers to frequently asked questions:

~ Don't worry if you have never volunteered before, we will show you what to do when you arrive...you'll be doing things like straightening racks, helping out in the Hold Area, assisting shoppers with large items, removing tags, inspecting items, etc. (We also have sit-down jobs, if you are pregnant or unable to stand for long periods of time.)
~ Consignors can pick up their 12-, 8- or 4-hour volunteer pre-sale pass at the Information Table during consignor drop-off. NOTE: If you are not consigning at this sale, you may pick up your volunteer or bartering pre-sale pass just before your pre-sale begins.
~ Please bring any food/drink (and a small cooler, if desired) that you might need during your shift. Also, please wear comfortable shoes and clothing. We provide a cute JBF apron for you to wear during your volunteer shift(s).
~ IMPORTANT: pre-sales are for actual volunteers only! Husbands, mothers and friends must earn their own pass to attend any pre-sale.
~ Children are not allowed at any pre-sale UNTIL AFTER 6:00 pm. Nursing babies may attend, if needed.
