Sales Workers Needed at the Northland Sale
It takes many people to make a Here We Grow Again sale run smoothly, and we couldn’t do it without the help of our volunteers. So, we are giving our volunteers first shot at all the bargains and “Grow Bucks” to spend at the sale!
- Register to work just one three-hour shift any time during the sale and you will get to be the first to shop!
- By working one three-hour shift you will receive a pass to our exclusive Volunteer-only Pre-sale Party and get to shop for half-price items before the public. See sale dates & times.
- For every three-hour shift you work, you will receive $10 in “Here We Grow Bucks.” Your “Here We Grow Bucks” can be applied to any purchase you make at the sale!
- For every shift you work, your name will be entered for great giveaway prizes! Prizes include: consignor fee waived, earn 5% more on sold items, gift certificates, Gymboree play prize and more!
- Jobs vary each shift… you might be asked to organize racks, help with check out, sort, straighten toys… anything.
- You DO NOT have to be a consignor to work a volunteer shift and shop the presales. Just select your shift and get shopping.
- Shop even earlier! Sign up for a sorting/break-down shift and shop 1 hour before other volunteers. Work at least 5 shifts and get in 2 hours early and get your consignor fee waived!
- We would be happy to put your spouse to work in your place! We especially need extra muscle to help on our set-up and tear-down shifts, so feel free to sign up your husband to work so you can enjoy all the volunteer benefits. For those who help get the racks in Olathe on April 5th, you will Earn $20 in Grow Bucks. Due to travel time, the shift will be 4 hours. We can arrange car pool, or you can meet us there (the extra Grow Bucks should help with gas).
- We are unable to provide childcare during your volunteer shift. As our sales are busy places, please do not bring your child with you while volunteering unless you have received prior approval.
- If your pre-teen or teenager would like to help out at the sale, please email us. Helpers under the age of 16 do not receive “Grow Bucks” for volunteering but are able to come with mom or dad if prior approval is given. Service hours can be earned for their help!
-
Volunteer For A Cause! Say you have time to volunteer, but you don’t really need to shop for more stuff. You can donate the Grow Bucks you earned to the families in our Charity Partner’s program! Your Grow Bucks could help families that recently were recently homeless a chance to get new clothes and toys for their kids. When you register to volunteer, simply email us with the amount of your Grow Bucks that you would like to donate! Learn more about Hillcrest on our Charity partners tab.
We also have “trade shifts” available.
Consider one of the following options for early shopping privileges. Email us if you would like more information, or to sign up for a “trade shift” (these aren’t listed on the registry – you must make arrangements via email). These count as a three-hour work shift and include:
- Deliver flyers to area businesses, doctor’s offices, daycare centers, libraries, etc. Flyers will be provided.
- Place yard signs prior to the sale. (If you live on a busy street or near a daycare, school, or church, please include one in your yard!)
- Add a Here We Grow Again magnet to your car for the four weeks prior to our event. Promote the event while driving around town
- Help us obtain radio, television or newspaper coverage.
- Place a yard sign in your yard (for locations with good traffic flow or near a school, daycare or church only). This will not give you Grow Bucks, but will get you into presale 6-8pm, or 1 hour earlier than your current starting time if you are a consignor or volunteer (up to 2pm).
- Provide a meal for at least 6-8 volunteers during the sale. Each meal = 1 “Grow Buck” or 1 hour extra-early shopping – you pick!
Not only will you enjoy a great shopping experience at our Pre-Sales – Volunteering is fun and easy!
To Volunteer:
First you will need to create an account.
Then register as Volunteer Only and select the shift(s) you would like to work. Remember to email for trade shift availability.
If you already have an account as a consignor, login using your consignor information and select “Volunteer” from the bar at the top of the page. Then select the shift(s) you would like to work.
If you can’t make a shift, please remember to “de-select” yourself from it as soon as you know you can’t come. This way other volunteers may take it, and we know we could be short-handed. If it is a very last minute change, please call Kerri @ (816) 804-6977. During the sale there is no time to check email updates. We understand that things come up unexpectedly, but if at all possible please try to find someone to cover your shift. Thank you so much for your help!
Note: You will only see the volunteer shifts that are still available. If you would like to volunteer for another time not listed, please email us.
