Job Title:

Community Donation Manager

The Community Donation Manager position averages 45 hours per week and is a non-exempt role, during and after the formal training period.

As one of the largest for-profit thrift operators in the United States, Canada and Australia for value priced pre‑owned clothing, accessories and household goods, our mission is to champion reuse and inspire a future where secondhand is second nature. We supply our stores with gently‑used, one‑of‑a‑kind items that have been donated by the community to local non‑profit organizations. We purchase these items directly from our nonprofit partners, redirecting billions of pounds of used items away from landfills and on to our store racks and shelves for reuse, and providing our partners with valuable funding for their community‑based programs and services.

You’ll often hear us say that we are “Thrift Proud.” It’s the millions of loyal customers who visit our 300+ stores and our more than 22,000 team members that make it possible. Learn more about the Savers® family of thrift stores, our impact, and the #Thrift Proud movement at
