Deborah Rae Larson Lindberg will be familiar to you if you shop at The Princeton Closet on Friday mornings. She is one of our dedicated cashiers but she also helps keep on top of the jewelry donations. The community is so generous that Deb recruited another Deb to help keep up with the jewelry donations!

You could also find her giving cute puppies hugs!

In addition to her long service at The Princeton Closet, Deb also generously donates her time to Tri-County Opportunities Council Food Pantry and Princeton IL A Night to Remember. She has one huge heart!

We thank you for choosing to volunteer with us and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your years of service! 💙

We do our best to appreciate our volunteers every day because we would be lost without them and when a volunteer is unable to make it we do our best to fill their shoes. Wow is it hard to fill Vicki’s shoes! Vicki is a long serving volunteer who has had many roles over the years including cashier. She is currently the queen of toys!

Every happy child that runs into The Princeton Closet in search of the perfect toy has Vicki to thank! Vicki volunteers multiple days a week and is always busy due to the generous donations we receive. She is one of the first to arrive in the morning and often works long enough to join us for lunch!

Vicki volunteers for two reasons “it gives me a purpose and I have made so many good friends here.” We are so happy you choose us Vicki and are grateful for all you do!💙

Charles has volunteered at The Princeton Closet for about 10 years. He choses to volunteer with us because “it is a nice place to work.”

Charles quietly works hard testing electronic and battery operated donations and helps in the Donation Center. He volunteers multiple days throughout the week and on many occasions will check in on a day he is typically off to see if we need his help and we often do. It is like Charles has a sixth sense!

We appreciate Charles. He is kind and chivalrous. He has often waited in his vehicle for those of us closing the store to make sure our cars start.

Thank you Charles for being you and for all you do at the Princeton Closet!💙

It is rare when these two book lovers are at The Princeton Closet at the same time but they are a well oiled machine when it comes to sorting and merchandising the donated books, CDs, DVDs, records, etc.

When asked why they chose to donate their time at The Princeton Closet, one “likes the people, loves to read so love going through the donated books and a fun way to do something for the community.” The other had a similar purpose “it is a fun way to give back to the community.”

We do have a lot of fun especially with these two! Many of our volunteers look for ways to help reuse items that may not sell at The Princeton Closet. One of these volunteers takes books that did not sell and donates them to Princeton Public Library for their book sale. She also takes CDs to a local store in town in hopes for a second life there.

Thank you both for all you do for us! We appreciate you! 💙

We are always thrilled when we have new volunteers at The Princeton Closet! Deb H. Is adventurous and flexible. She is up for any task on any given day and we take her up on it.

Debs many hats include - volunteering in our clothing department sorting and hanging, merchandising our sales floor, sorting and packaging greeting cards & gift bags for sale AND cashier!

She always has a smile on her face and helps brighten our day. She jumps in and helps wherever the need and whenever the need.

Deb is a thrifter herself and has such clever ideas for how to reuse many of the treasures donated and we love seeing pictures of her home featuring items she found at The Princeton Closet.

Thank you Deb for choosing to volunteer with us! 💙

What to say about Sharon & Betty? It is fun when our linen volunteers pair up to conquer the massive donation pile - thank you everyone! Linens is the most complex of our departments and these two are mighty.

Sharon volunteers on Tuesdays and when she fills a shopping cart, sometimes you cannot see who is driving. Sharon choses to volunteer at The Princeton Closet because “I feel it’s a good cause for the community and I always enjoyed volunteering. I also really like the people I work with.”

Betty is a snow bird, spending half of the year in a warmer climate. She helps us on Mondays. Years ago, Betty was encouraged by the enthusiasm of a board member at the time to volunteer. She left for a bit but is back and we could not be more thrilled. Betty “enjoys all the people and the worthwhile cause.”

Thank you Sharon & Betty!💙
