Do I have to consign in order to volunteer?

No, ANYONE can volunteer and enjoy the perks of being involved with TotSwap, like shopping the sale before the general public!!

Is it really worth it to volunteer for 4 hours to receive a pre-sale pass?

Definitely! We receive thousand of items for consignment at the sale.  Our Thursday night pre-sale is by far our busiest time at the sale.  By volunteering, you will be able to shop the sale first, as early as 2 p.m. on Thursday evening.  Lines are minimal and you have up to 4 hours to shop from the largest choice of items!  Many of our volunteers help out just for this benefit, and it is well worth it!!

How do I know what my job will be as a volunteer?

We offer various jobs and responsibilities to our volunteers, and your duties will depend on how many volunteers we have that day and where your help would be needed most. If you are pregnant or need a less active duty, please let us know in advance.

Can I volunteer if I am pregnant or nursing?

We have a variety of "lighter" responsibilities that can be arranged the day of your shift for those who are pregnant, and breaks can be arranged for those who are nursing. However, please keep in mind that volunteers are NOT permitted to bring children to their scheduled shift. Feel free to contact denise@totswap.net if you have any questions.

What if I missed my shift at a previous TotSwap sale and would like to volunteer at a future sale?

Those who miss a shift and do not notify us are not permitted to volunteer again. However, if you have signed up for a shift and need to reschedule, please be sure to notify us 24 hours in advance by emailing denise@totswap.net.
