We are searching for someone dependable to join our team. As a Sorter you will go through donations from the community in order to eliminate the storage of excess "unacceptable" product. We then move acceptable product to our retail stores where we sell it in order to help people in that community and others in Central Michigan get work experience, job training, and other services.

We collect everything from furniture to clothing so you will be handling a wide variety of items every day, big and small, and need to be able to carry, lift, and move donations and feel comfortable handing donated items.
