Emmaus supports people to work their way out of homelessness, providing a purpose as well as a stable home for as long as someone needs it.
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in sustainability and fashion, and at OUTFIT they go hand in hand! Here at OUTFIT we strive to further a culture of reusing, repurposing, waste managing, and recycling fashion.

Not only will you get the opportunity to help by prepare our treasure trove of beautiful bargains and high-end designs, but you will also get to work within a friendly team assisting the public with purchases.
Your duties can vary from organising and preparing the clothes and accessories for the shopfloor, researching brands online, inspiring Pop Up sales and other events to making beautiful displays or even manning the till. There is always something to do and never a dull moment at Outfit!
