Tot Trade Children's Consignment Sales

Why volunteer with Tot Trade?

If you are a consignor with Tot Trade, we hope that you would take “ownership” in the sale and volunteer with us. This is YOUR sale and we are only as good as the image we are able to present to our consignors and our shoppers. Everyone will reap the rewards and benefits of a smooth running, professional, excellent customer service based sale if we all help.

Plain and simple, volunteer and you get in to shop first! Before we open the doors to the public.

About Volunteering...

The Tot Trade Volunteer pass you earn is good for you only. Volunteer passes are distributed according to the option you choose and the number of shifts you work. This is your reward for the work you have done for us.

Volunteer tasks are very easy, no experience needed but appreciated. If you have a disability that might prevent you from performing some tasks, please just let me know. We can accommodate. Snacks and drinks are provided for you; however we do ask that you please eat a meal before your shift, since meals are provided for our staff only.

A "special" note from Kelly...

I want to take this time to "Thank You" for volunteering with Tot Trade. Without your help, we would not be able to run the sale as efficiently as we do. You are very valuable to us and we appreciate you so much! We'll see you EARLY at Tot Trade's, Presale Extravaganza!

Tot Trade 12 Hour "Breakdown" Volunteer - Our goal with this shift is to ensure we have as many people as possible to help us with breakdown at the end of the sale. This shift isn't a hard shift; you just do lots of walking and will truly get your exercise in for the day. We have lots of moms who love it just for that reason. So, wear your tennis shoes, comfortable clothes and come join us. The incentive with this shift is you are only working eight hours but earn a 12-hour pass. By giving us the "guarantee" you'll be there on breakdown day, you get this extra "perk."
