Volunteer with The Salt Mine

Dear friends of The Salt Mine,

At The Salt Mine, our mission to ensure no one in Lincoln and Sheridan goes hungry relies on the dedication of our community—especially through volunteering. Whether at our Thrift Store or Food Closet, your time and effort make a direct difference in the lives of our neighbors. This work is essential, and we need your help to keep it going strong.

Volunteering at the Thrift Store not only helps fund our operations but also provides our community with an enjoyable and affordable source for home essentials. By sorting donations, assisting shoppers, or keeping displays looking their best, volunteers turn gently used items into resources that support families while generating the revenue needed to sustain our programs.

At the Food Closet, volunteers ensure the needs of our community are met effectively—picking up food from local grocery stores, stocking shelves, packing boxes, and offering a warm welcome to those seeking help. This hands-on work delivers nutritious meals to thousands, providing peace of mind and hope during tough times.

Both locations are vital: the Thrift Store powers our financial stability, and the Food Closet delivers immediate aid. Together, they build a stronger, more compassionate community. To volunteer with us simply visit thesaltmine.org/volunteer. Once your form is submitted you’ll be able to schedule a tour of our operations which will give you an excellent idea of how your work will directly impact our neighbors.

If volunteering isn’t an option for you right now, please consider making a donation at thesaltmine.org/donate. Every gift helps us continue this important work. Ready to get involved? Visit our website to sign up or learn more. Thank you for your support—your partnership truly changes lives.
