Very quickly we became the largest “emergency food program” in Champaign County, and a leader in the community for providing access to basic resources. In addition to the weekly assistance provided through the food pantry and clothing closet, we partnered with area churches and businesses in large events designed to help families with school supplies in the fall, meals at Thanksgiving, and gifts at Christmas.</span><span> </span></p>\n<p><span> </span></p>\n<p><span>We later added financial education classes and a computer lab, both of which represented not just the addition of new programs but signaled a desire to move away from just providing things, to offering opportunities for people to grow. </span><span> </span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span>After wrestling with the theologies and ideologies found in the book When Helping Hurts, we felt led to design a more developmental approach to meeting basic needs. Our new model created opportunities for individuals to acquire the resources they needed through use of the skills, gifts, and abilities God had given them. Instead of being handed a preselected bag of groceries, our participants now shopped with store credit earned through volunteering. The stores we now operate in Urbana and Champaign are open to the entire community and generate revenue to support the store credit participants earn in addition to our other programs and services.</span><span> </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px\">About the Position</span></span></span><span><span style=\"font-size: 15px\"> </span></span><br></p>\n<p><span><span style=\"font-size: 15px\">Reporting to the Sales Floor Manager and Sales Floor Assistant Manager, the Merchandising Team Member helps fulfill our mission and vision by providing outstanding customer service to our customers, donors, volunteers, and all staff members.</span></span></p>\n<p><span><span style=\"font-size: 15px\"> </span></span></p>\n<p><span><span style=\"font-size: 15px\">Our Merchandising Team Member is someone who loves people and is a highly motivated self-starter comfortable being part of a team.
