Volunteers don't necessarily have the time, they just have the heart.
Sacks Volunteers are crucial to our success in supporting Help Center, Inc. programs., providing vital human services to our community. Volunteers bring a variety of skills to help us make the store look great, make sure quality items arrive on the floor, and more! Volunteering with us not only benefits Sacks, but the entire community as well. Volunteers help keep our operating costs down, which translates into more funding for our community. Whether you are looking to gain new skills, build your resume, meet new people, or just give back to your community!
Sack Thrift itself also has programs that serve the community in unique ways other than providing high quality items at low prices to Bozeman and the greater Gallatin area:
