GIVE. SERVE. BELONG.
HighPoint is a volunteer-driven organization, which means we couldn't function without consistent, driven volunteers who provide a strong, loving community committed to loving others well. As our ministry has grown, our need for volunteers has risen. Will you join us in helping provide support for the practical and spiritual needs of the community?

Shop HighPoint volunteers help us price non-essential donations and prepare them for sale. There are two teams within Shop HighPoint.
Team Traderbaker works with non-clothing items. Items are priced and transported to LaGrange Traderbaker for purchase in one of our 5 booths! There are two volunteer roles available within this team. Tuesday evenings, the pricing team meets to work together to price and prepare items for sale. In addition there are opportunities for those who would like a flexible schedule to design and stock the booths throughout the week. This will require use of your personal vehicle and ability to lift up to 25 pounds.
Team eBay works with clothing items. This team takes clothing items and lists them on eBay. That includes taking pictures and following a procedure to list the items under our Shop HighPoint eBay store.
