You’ve seen the grab bags in our stores…. Little bags containing anything from small toys to crafting items to stationery to …well just about anything. Goodwill Industries of Northeast Indiana, Inc. is looking for someone to help put these packages together!
Each day, the stores will send to our corporate office boxes of odd-ball miscellaneous items that could be sold if only someone could organize and package them. That’s where you come in! You get to go through the boxes and check items for quality. Items that meet our standards are then sorted, packaged, priced and boxed to go back to our stores for sale. You may also help with training volunteers or others who may be assisting with assembling grab bags.
While Goodwill will provide all the training you might need for this position, we do require someone that can be depended upon to work their schedule, be able to lift, push and/or pull up to 20 pounds occasionally to move objects, and be able to use basic tools such as box cutters, tape guns, hole punchers and stapler/staple removers.
This is a part time position (@ 12-15 hours per week - no weekends). We offer competitive wages, an Employee Assistance Program and a generous in store employee discount.
