Thrift Shop
The Fort Bliss Thrift Shop is the bread and butter of the FBSA’s Community Giving program. As such, it remains the longest continually running fundraiser in our association’s history. There have been numerous changes throughout the years (decades really) but one thing remains constant, our Fort Bliss Thrift Shop employees and volunteers are our most prized assets.
Volunteers
We welcome anyone over the age of 18 (or spouses that are 17) to come in and volunteer with us. We have a broad range of opportunities available for our volunteers, as well as a dedicated core group of volunteers that is sure to make your time in the Fort Bliss Thrift Shop enjoyable.
The FBSA understands that volunteers are the backbone of our organization, as such, we go above and beyond to ensure our volunteers needs are met and their hard work rewarded. Come and volunteer with us! We will be grateful for any time you can provide—whether you have an hour or several hours to give. We cannot wait to welcome you to our family!
​
Childcare vouchers are available for our volunteers that put their children in CYS hourly care while they volunteer with us. If you need a childcare voucher, please contact us.
