The Shop is run entirely by volunteers who are kept busy – and have a lot of fun! – sorting and pricing incoming donations, putting merchandise on display and cashiering. We also have need of volunteers to help with mending, laundry, store cleaning, recycling books and transporting donations we can’t use to other outlets. Training is provided. Apply online today to be a Volunteer!

For more information about volunteer opportunities, call Deanna Persson at 715-634-4543 or Barbara Hoeft at 715-634-0487.

Sis Hale, a fabulous person in so many ways, started her own fundraising event for NHS by baking her famous dog cookies and selling them at the NHS Thrift Shop. The tradition continues!
