About the volunteering opportunity
The TEXTILHAFEN location of "Komm & Sieh" is the place where clothing donations are sorted for people in need.
Our aim is also to close the regional textile cycle. To this end, we offer creative workshops and sell clothes that are not needed in the clothing store. As an integration company, "Komm & Sieh" also runs several social second-hand neighborhood stores.
The proceeds from "Komm & Sieh" support the social projects of the Berlin City Mission.
Your Tasks
Activity: You support employees with and without severe disabilities at the checkout, with sales and with the presentation of goods in the store and take on simple cleaning tasks (e.g. sweeping). You put textiles on a trolley and help with packing purchases.
If you work on a Saturday, you will also greet the donors and accept clothing donations.
