VTH is dreaming about reaching an even better 2006 grand total with the help of a few new volunteers. VTH need your talents to join us to make this goal.

Work inside the shop as little as two half days a month or just a few hours a month at home making marketing calls. Every volunteer job helps support agencies committed to servicing families in our community with the most need. Helping VTH may not change the world, but certainly will have impact on Glenview’s surrounding communities.

Volunteering at the Village Treasure House is about business and community. VTH puts to positive use the wonderful talents of our retired community together with younger business people and stay at home moms. Aside from its one shared full time manager position, the shop is entirely staffed by nearly seventy volunteers. The shop also serves as a drop-off location for the national Donate-A-Phone which provides refurbished cell phones to victims of domestic abuse.

Village Treasure House accepts donations of furniture, china, crystal, lamps, paintings and collectibles any time, and tax letters are provided. VTH is a 501(c) Tax-Exempt Organization.

Consignment is by appointment only, either at the shop or in the home for larger items.

The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is located between Harlem Ave. and Waukegan Rd. next door to the west of the fire department, with lots of public parking available behind the shop via Church St. or Dewes St. For information, call the shop at 847/832-1030, or visit the website at: www.villagetreasurehouse.com.
