About the volunteering opportunity

In the Oxfam stores, volunteer teams sell donated items and are thus committed to Oxfam's goal of a fair and sustainable world without poverty. Every year, they give over 3 million items a new lease of life and the funds raised benefit Oxfam's development work.
As an international emergency relief and development aid organization, Oxfam works with people around the world to fight poverty, oppression and social inequality. We support through

worldwide emergency and disaster relief
project funding and crisis prevention
global campaigns on the causes of poverty
and advocacy for better political and economic conditions
