GET INVOLVED

At Vina Moses Center, you can make a positive impact in our community. We have a list of volunteer projects and welcome your suggestions - share your expertise with us! Volunteers meet and work with people from all over Benton County, and you will see gratitude for the work you do reflected in the many faces of our patrons and donors!

From sorting donations, to making clothing and household goods available to our patrons, to assisting patrons while they shop, to greeting and assisting donors, there is a lot of good work to do at Vina Moses Center. A great deal of materials (5k-8k pounds) move through the Center every week, and it takes the dedication of many volunteers to make it work. Volunteers with Spanish language ability are highly encouraged. We have opportunities to get involved with our annual Vina’s Back to School and Vina’s Giving Tree programs, too!

Have a group?

We’re interested in hearing from all types of groups that want to help us help our community thrive! Want to blast through like the wind and clean and landscape our property? Want to partner up and have a Work Party with your whole gang? Do you have any other cool or unique ideas? Let us know! We want to hear from you!

It takes a lot of people-power to reach hundreds of families! Do you or your group want to help? Fill out a volunteer application or reach out to us for more information: 541-753-1420 or info@vinamoses.org

They also help answer phones, check voicemail, and return calls, help with filing, data entry, and other special projects as needed. *Must be comfortable working with Google Suite (Sheets, Docs, Gmail, Google Drive, etc.) BILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH ENCOURAGED!

Retail Floor Assistant Volunteer retail assistants keep Vina's Free Thrift Store looking in tip-top shape, including straightening out the clothing racks, organizing & restocking empty shelves/racks, refilling the indoor & outdoor Vina's Closets, organizing and setup of seasonal displays, pulling hangers from racks, working on special projects, etc. You will also interact directly with patrons, help answer questions and be a kind presence on the floor.

Sorter Donation sorters help keep our backroom processes efficient. This volunteer position works in our back sorting room, the volunteer will be expected to accept donations & give receipts (as needed) during open hours, and to help sort donations for clean, usable items and to put them out onto the floor. We need volunteers who can spot hidden gems, trendy pieces, vintage finds and quality items!

Center Cleaner There is no task too great or too small! Vina Moses Center strives to keep our Center clean and free from funny smells and dirty donations, both inside and out! Center cleaners will help clean and organize both the inside and outside of the center, including breaking down boxes, picking up trash around the Center, vacuuming, clearing any debris from the outside of the Center, dusting, and special projects as needed.

Vina Committee This is a unique volunteer opportunity to be part of the Vina Moses Center team and foster positive change in the community. Serve on one or more committees with board members (e.g. finance, fundraising) and contribute to specific activities and goals. Committees generally meet monthly with assigned tasks completed between each meeting. Serving on a nonprofit committee as a volunteer is a significant commitment that requires dedication, expertise, and a passion for the organization's mission.

Board Member We seek diverse, talented individuals who are eager to contribute their skills and expertise to guide the organization and ensure we fulfill our mission effectively. As a volunteer Board member, you participate in monthly Board meetings, strategic planning sessions, contribute to fundraising and advocacy initiatives and represent Vina at community events.

There is a separate application process for our Board of Directors, which includes an additional application and interview. Email our Board President for more information.
