Volunteer

Volunteers are a gift to our community

Volunteering is a wonderful way to realize how much people can accomplish through caring and dedication.

When you give your time to something you enjoy, it’s not work but a labor of love.

If you’re looking to make new friends or add some excitement to your life, volunteer and find out for yourself what great things await you. Most of all, volunteering is fun!

The 2nd Chance Thrift Shop and the Camano Center depend on dedicated volunteers. Volunteers enjoy the opportunity to make a significant difference in their community, to meet new friends, and to have some fun. In return we strives to provide a safe and welcoming environment for both volunteers and customers. For more information about volunteering contact Karen Conway (360) 387-0222.
