Donation Specialist

Description

Goodwill stores handle hundreds of donations daily, and we are hiring quick‑thinking, hard workers to perform light warehouse work. Donation Specialists greet donors, accept donations and then use light machinery to move heavy loads. Donation Specialists can also expect to sort donations by type and quality. Quick decision‑making is a must. Goodwill NNE also expects Donation Specialists to be able to say, “no thank you” to items we cannot accept and politely explain why to each customer.
