Volunteer Sort Day! Saturday!
Come one, come all! Drop on in to the SMILE House and help sort donations for a little or a long time! What does it mean to sort? After SMILE receives a freshly washed donation of clothing, they need to be quality checked and then sorted by gender and size. While it’s not hard work, it helps SMILE out so much!
Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes as standing/walking is common while sorting. Face masks are required upon entering the SMILE House. You may also feel free to bring your own gloves or use our latex free gloves.
