Volunteers

County Clothes-Line Foundation has volunteers operating in many capacities. It would not be possible to accomplish everything without these valued participants!

Volunteers can take part in a variety of ways: board members, store operations, helpers that wash clothing and other items - anyone wishing to offer their time can visit the store for more information.
