Being non-profit means we run almost entirely on Volunteer Super-Power! The work we are doing in the Lehigh Valley is far beyond what any one family can do alone – we need LOTS of help! Won’t you partner with us? The semi-legendary Greek author Homer, wrote, “Light is the task when many share the toil.” It may not seem like much, but handing out some sale flyers, putting up some posters at grocery stores, dropping by Zoe’s Place to help us organize the racks, chipping in during one of our All-4-Kids Sale weeks, dropping off some muffins for a Bible Study night, or helping to stock donations in our Community Closet are all little things that add up to a lot! Whatever your time & schedule allows, we have volunteer opportunities to fit, and during our All-4-Kids Events, there are added benefits that volunteers receive too.
A4K Volunteer Perks:
While volunteering is fun and a great way to meet other families in your community, with us, you can also feel good about giving back through an organization that brings people hope every day by helping them to find healing, wholeness & purpose in life. Plus, you get in on all the excitement of a BIG SALE! But that’s not all ~ All-4-Kids Sale Volunteers also get:
1 - Early shopping privileges!
All volunteers get to shop our pre-sale event the day before the public shops. Certain volunteers get the exclusive right to shop at the very earliest shopping time on pre-sale day! Want to be first in the door to snag the best of the best deals? Volunteer!
2 - Higher earnings for Consignors!
If you are consigning with us, volunteering can boost your commission up to 75% CASH for your items which sell during our event. Just one shift can get you to 70% but that depends on the shift. See the detailed chart below for more info.
All-4-Kids Sale Volunteers do things like:
- Distribute postcards and posters about our event to our target locations
- Make phone calls to new marketing locations on our behalf to gather information
- Help us promote our event through social media and other online avenues
- Place yard signs in the community where allowed + collect them when our sale is over
- Assist with prepping and tagging consigned items for the sale
- Help us load and unload our moving truck with racks, tables, and other sale supplies
- Set-up racks, tables, shelves and more at the sale site
- Inspect and organize items dropped-off by consignors for our sale
- Greet and instruct people at the door when they arrive at our sale to shop
- Walk the sales floor during public sale hours (deters theft and brings a smile to the sales floor!)
- Run or assist a Check-Out Station (includes Baggers)
- Donate meals and deliver to our event site.

Volunteer Jobs will appear in Flash Consign typically 6-8 weeks before each of our A4K Events. If you click the link and don’t see jobs available yet, please check back soon, or call our store 610-392-2934 ~ Thank you!
Each volunteer plays an important part in the overall success of our event, so please remember how important your commitment is to us. When you sign-up for something, we count on you!
If an emergency arises, see if your spouse, parent or friend can ‘sub’ for you, especially if it’s last minute.
If you sign-up to volunteer and don’t show up or send a replacement, you will not be able to volunteer at future events. Thank you for understanding this strict rule.
FOOD DONATIONS
You may donate food during our sale week to earn shift credit toward a higher commission. This is a great option for someone who cannot commit to working a 3-hour shift due to their jobs, child care, health reasons, whatever! This is also an easy way to increase your commission if you can’t work as many shifts as you would like. For example, you might work 1 shift on site, and then donate & deliver a hot dinner with a snack to get “credit” for working 2 shifts, earning you 70% commission for your items.
Please note: Only ONE meal job will be credited to each consignor account.
Please do NOT sign-up for more than one meal. Also, please READ the meal instruction details CAREFULLY once they are posted, and be sure you can commit to its responsibilities before signing up. There are several food choices listed under each meal “JOB” and if you sign up for that job, you MUST bring one of those items. Any food donation you wish to provide that varies from the choices listed must be approved by our sale coordinator prior to each sale week.
ADVERTISING JOBS
We need help during the weeks and months prior to each All-4-Kids Event delivering postcards, yard signs, and other materials to our target locations in the Lehigh Valley. This job is paramount to our success!
Stop in at our year-round store to get more info, and/or to pick up materials as soon as they are ready. You may complete one of these jobs to earn 65% commission, or two of these jobs to earn 70% commission. If you wish to earn 75% however, only ONE of these jobs can count toward the four shifts required. Please ask us if you have any questions about this. We are happy to help you figure out what jobs to sign-up for in order to earn whatever is your commission goal!
If you have something else you think we could use, or another service you could offer to us that would benefit our event, talk to us! We would LOVE to hear your ideas!! If we feel your idea is a good match, you may be able to get some type of shift-credit for it in lieu of the other volunteer shifts we have listed.
Either call the store during business hours or send Niki an email at zoesplace18103@gmail.com. All ‘trades’ are made at Niki’s discretion.
