Donation Attendant

The Salvation Army's donation center is operated by a team referred to as the "dock". Donations attendants are responsible for receiving donations, power sorting, loading and unloading trucks. TSA takes various types of donations including clothing, housewares, shoes, accessories, furniture, linen and more. These items are sorted and placed into plastic or cardboard gaylords (a large box used for storage of items),_ and bins._ The flow and organization of this department is essential to the success of the backroom.

Receiving and Sorting Donations:

• Ensure good customer service during entire donor interaction

• Understand acceptable vs. unacceptable donations (Utilize “Do Not Accept” list)

• Confirm items in vehicle for donation, unload them with care, and keep a tally of each vehicle

• Place the donations on the sorting table or into appropriate container, never on the ground

• Power Sort Donations- Quickly identify sellable and non-sellable items and place them in the appropriate container. Donation attendants must understand each sorting category

• Complete container switch outs as needed and ensure they are labeled correctly (“Pallet Jack training” issued by TSA).
