Welcome to The Winter Park Benefit Shop!

The Winter Park Benefit Shop is more than just a place to shop — it’s a place where neighbors connect, where every purchase helps support local outreach programs, and where people come together to make our town a brighter, friendlier place.
We rely on volunteers like you to keep our store running smoothly, to greet every customer with warmth, and to extend kindness in every interaction.

Why Volunteer with Us?

Volunteering at The Benefit Shop offers more than a chance to give back — it’s an opportunity to grow, learn, and belong.
Each volunteer contributes to our mission of supporting families, reducing waste, and creating a welcoming environment for everyone.
Whether you’re organizing shelves, helping customers, or sorting donations, your time directly impacts lives.

Here’s what volunteers often say about their experience:

• “I’ve met so many amazing people.” Our volunteers form lasting friendships built on shared purpose.
• “I love the sense of accomplishment.” Every shift ends with visible results — a tidier store, a grateful shopper, or a box of items ready for a family in need.
• “It’s flexible and fun.” We appreciate that everyone has different schedules, so we work with you to find the best times to help.

What You’ll Do

Volunteers assist in a variety of ways, depending on interests and experience. Common roles include:

• Customer service and checkout support
• Sorting and pricing donated goods
• Stocking shelves and arranging displays
• Helping with community events or seasonal promotions
• Light cleaning and organizing

No previous retail experience is required — just a friendly attitude and a willingness to lend a hand.
We’ll provide all the training you need to feel confident and capable in your role.

When You Can Volunteer

We offer flexible volunteer shifts Monday through Saturday, between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. You can volunteer weekly, bi-weekly, or even on an occasional basis — whatever fits your lifestyle best.
Whether you’re a student looking for service hours, a retiree seeking social connection, or a professional hoping to contribute your time and skills, there’s a place for you here.

Benefits of Volunteering

Giving your time brings rewards that go beyond what money can buy. As a volunteer, you’ll:

• Make a tangible difference in our community every day
• Develop new skills in customer service, teamwork, and organization
• Earn volunteer service credits or recommendations for future opportunities
• Enjoy special volunteer appreciation events and store discounts
