When you volunteer, you get first dibs on the things collected (after only 6 hours of volunteering) - and we get an unbelievable amount of great things donated! See what we sold last year on our Flickr set.

The Y is placing a special emphasis this year on expanding volunteer opportunities in all of our work. The upcoming 2012 Dump & Run will take a major step toward becoming a volunteer run event with our staff refocusing their efforts on other organizational priorities. If you’d like to take a leadership role, early 2012 is the time to get involved.
