Thrift Shops are also an important way that MCC BC invites our communities, as customers, volunteers, and employees, into our work.

This multifaceted role includes overseeing retail operations, inventory management, team leadership, and facilities oversight.

In addition, you will collaborate with the Director on special and pilot projects when requested. You will engage with customers, volunteers, employees, donors, and the wider community in a way that reflects MCC's mission and values. As a representative of MCC BC, you’ll embody Christian integrity, serving as a role model in leadership and service.
