Made by Momma Volunteer Group

Do you love clothes? Are you compassionate, outgoing, and looking for a new volunteer opportunity that will have you interacting directly with clients?

DETAILS
Introducing our newly reopened Clothing Pop Up Shop! Located in the offices at our Warehouse location in the NE, Moms who are currently receiving or have recently received support from Made by Momma are invited to come and shop for women's clothing, shoes, and accessories. This is such a special venture, as we encourage Mommas to focus on themselves for just 45 minutes, and for many, it's their first opportunity in a long time to receive new (to them) clothing, shoes that fit properly, weather appropriate outerwear, or maybe a fun purse, scarf or pair of earrings. The best part is, Moms get to choose what they need the most!

This volunteer opportunity is for those who are interested in working directly with Moms as they shop!
**Important note. Our Pop-Up Shop needs to be a safe and comfortable space for Moms of all backgrounds. Therefore, this role is for female volunteers only.**
