"Volunteering is time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain."
Working in a small, fun and energetic team in the warehouse, our Warehouse Volunteers ensure only the best quality stock make it into our shops. They are responsible for sorting through all the donations we receive and for packing them up ready to distribute to one of our 5 retail shops.
Lifeline North Coast operates 5 Lifeline Shops – West Hight St, Coffs Harbour, Vernon St Coffs Harbour, Grafton, Nambucca and Toormina. Our volunteer shop assistants are responsible for pricing and selling the goods packed and distributed from our warehouse.
