Volunteers
Everyone who helps at Greenovation is a volunteer, from our General Manager, Kim, to the people who help move merchandise, repair donated items, organize a section of the store, work as a cashier, figure out how much to charge for certain items, and much more. You may notice that merchandise is not as organized or as neat as you would wish or that a lot of items don’t have a price tag. That means that we need you or someone like you to come help.
How to Volunteer
Email us at RochesterGreenovation@gmail.com or talk to Kim in the store.
Volunteering
Volunteers come when they have time and leave when they need to. You can ask what needs doing or choose something to work on. Just an hour or more can help, and volunteering regularly makes a big difference. We’re a fun crew! Won’t you join us?
