Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Silver Hill Hospital's "Little Shop" was one of the first places in the organization where volunteers contributed their time and talents. The Little Shop, open weekdays from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, continues to be a charming place for patients and staff to purchase personal convenience items, books, themed jewelry and much more. In the Little Shop, you will help patients establish a spending account for and assist them with their gift shop purchases; help the shop manager maintain and conduct inventory; process special orders; deliver patients' requested items to hospital units; and carry out routine administrative duties as assigned.

Although retail experience is desirable, it is not a prerequisite for helping to maintain the Little Shop as an inviting and convenient resource for patients and staff. You should, however, have a great appreciation for customer service, a keen eye for organization, and have ability to multi-task. This role provides a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to learn more about gift shop operations, "service with a smile," and self-help media that support patients in their recovery programs.

This opportunity is sponsored by: Silver Hill Hospital

We need volunteers who are free at these times Weekdays Weekly This volunteer opportunity is available to the following types of volunteers Adults (26-54) Young Adults (18-25) Adults (55+)
