Volunteer Information

We recognize how important our volunteers are to the success of the sale as it continues to grow over the years. With the increase in the volume of items and consignors, extra hands are needed. We truly appreciate any time that our volunteers can provide.

Volunteer Incentives

All volunteers will be able to shop FIRST at both Preview Sales. They will be allowed to shop one hour earlier at our Consignor Preview Sale on Wednesday night and at our Select 1/2 Price Sale on Saturday. Also, the more you volunteer, the more you can earn:

  • Earn 72% of your sales for volunteering for at least 4 hours
  • Earn 75% of your sales for volunteering for at least 8 hours

Who Can Volunteer

We ask that all consignors volunteer for at least one 2-hour shift. Spouses and teenage children are also able to volunteer at our sale. We have a few shifts that strong hands would be very helpful. All volunteers must register in order to be allowed entry to our preview sales. A sign-in/out sheet will be provided at the sale.

To sign up register here. 

Shifts

Volunteer shifts are scheduled in two hour time-slots.  Consignors will be required to sign in and out each shift they work.  In the case of a discrepancy, the final determination will be made by The Kids Sale. Please make arrangements for childcare during your shift. Volunteer shifts cannot be inclusive of your drop off time and or pick up time. For example, if you are scheduled to work a shift on drop off day you will need to arrive early to go through the drop off process prior to beginning your shift.

We have a limited number of "behind the scene" volunteer spots available. See below for a sample of those spots. Please contact us if interested.

  • Goodie Bag assembly and delivery to the sale
  • Distribute flyers to preschools, daycares or club meetings
  • Post yard signs in approved locations 
  • Provide light refreshments/meals during the sale

Absentee Policy

All shifts are scheduled to insure maximum coverage during the Sale.  In the event that you are not able to cover your shift we ask that you please try to fulfill your commitment by finding a fellow consignor to cover your time slot.  Failure to cover your shift will result in no future participation as a consignor or volunteer. In addition, a fine of up to $7.25/hr or current minimum wage amount, no to exceed 25% of the consignor's earnings may be imposed and deducted from the consignor's total earnings. This is at the discretion of West Orange Consignments and  will be reviewed on an individual basis with the final determination made by the partners of the sale

What to Expect

Be sure to dress casual and wear comfortable shoes. Bottled water and light refreshments will be provided during all shifts during the set-up and take-down of the Sale.  Expect to have fun and meet new friends that love to find great treasures among the consigned items.  Providing a well-organized Sale with a friendly staff is our goal.  And, we want this experience to be a positive one for everyone!

Pre-Sale Shopping

All volunteers and workers are invited to shop early beginning at 4:30 pm prior to our Consignor Preview Sale on Wednesday night and at 7:00 am for our Select 1/2 Price Sale on Saturday morning. This will allow extra time for bargain shopping.  Sorry, no guests allowed during this special time. Wristbands will be provided at Drop-Off for early shopping entrance for our volunteers
