25 Days Of Holiday Volunteering — Day 19: Teen Boutique Helpers

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — 'Tis the season for giving back to your community. There are a number of ways that you and your family can help others through the holidays.

Every day through Christmas, Patch will be highlighting a way you can provide compassion and resources to those in need.

Volunteer New York! makes it easy to find ways to help — through donations, supporting nonprofits and even volunteering from home.

Today’s opportunity is for volunteers to help with visual merchandising and restocking the Sharing Shelf Teen Boutique.

The Sharing Shelf was founded to address clothing insecurity and meet the basic needs of low income children and teens in Westchester County while bringing them dignity and respect so they can thrive. Committed to the whole child—from birth through age 19—the Sharing Shelf provides a week's worth of seasonally appropriate clothing and essentials, including diapers for infants and toddlers, toiletry kits, period products, new socks, new underwear, and school supplies.

To honor the MLK Day of Service, the Sharing Shelf is inviting volunteers to help with visual merchandising and restocking the Teen Boutique, its free clothing store for teens. This is a great opportunity to learn about the Teen Boutique and many other volunteer opportunities at the Sharing Shelf in the coming months.

Interested volunteers should express interest below and a staff member of the Sharing Shelf will reach out with details about the project. Volunteers 14-17 must register as part of an adult's team. Registration is required; no walk-ins allowed.

Express interest here.
