The Mother Load Sale
Volunteer Information

      #1 Reason Non-Sellers Volunteer?

Invitation to EXCLUSIVE Pre-Sale Event


Why Volunteer YOU or YOUR MAN at The Mother Load Sale?
In order for a huge sale like this to be a success, we need lots of volunteers. This is a great opportunity to work alongside and meet other moms, dads and grandparents, while being part of an effort to stretch the family dollar.  You do NOT need to be a seller to volunteer!

Volunteer Qualifications
  • Must be at least 18 years of age
  • Must be able to take basic instructions in English

Volunteer Responsibilities
  • Volunteers will work at least one, 4-hour shift
  • Volunteers will be contacted 2 weeks prior to be notified of their scheduled shift. Shift time preferences will be taken into consideration and priority will be given based on order in which Seller Contract or Volunteer (only) Registration Form is received.
  • Volunteers need to arrive 15 minutes early and wear a red shirt for their assigned shift
  • Shift responsibilities may include working as a cashier, removing price tags for customers, keeping the sales floor neat, assisting customers, selling tickets at the front door, and/or other duties.
  • We ARE able to accommodate any physical limitations when assigning shift duties.  There is something for everyone!
  • Volunteers who sign up for a shift and then are “no shows” or who confirm their shift when assigned but then cancel will not be eligible to volunteer or sell at any future The Mother Load Sale events.
  • Volunteers may NOT bring children to their volunteer shift.

Volunteer “Perks”
  • Our volunteers are able to shop during the exclusive presale event on Friday night 7-9om.  Shop before the sale opens to the public on Saturday morning, and receive first choice of our quality items!  Volunteers will also be given ONE presale pass to use to invite ONE guest to the Exclusive PreSale Friday night 7-9pm.

ManPower Volunteer Shifts:
As The Mother Load Sale grows, so does our need for extra muscle!  Our ManPower Vol. Shifts are shorter, labor-intensive shifts designed to assist our staff with the loading, setting up, taking down and unloading all of the racks, tables, etc. we use during the sale.  These 2-hour shifts are shorter than the regular volunteer shifts and only open to men as they require much lifting, building, and maybe even sweating.  For each ManPower Volunteer Shift worked, the seller designated on their Volunteer Registration Form (see below) gets an extra 5% profit from their sales - an extra 10% for 2 shifts! There are VERY limited ManPower shifts available, assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis.  HURRY!
ManPower Volunteers will also be given ONE presale pass to use to invite ONE guest to the Exclusive PreSale Friday night 7-9pm.

Available ManPower Shifts:
Shift A1: Friday, April 16th, 3-5pm – must arrive at 2:45pm to sign in
Shift C1: Sunday, April 18th, 3-5pm – must arrive at 2:45pm to sign in
Shift C2: Sunday, April 18th, 4-6pm – must arrive at 3:45pm to sign in
