Shopping Signup for August 2nd and August 4th

 

Saturday list -    

•     Saturday - Please text Jennie M if you need a spot after 6pm Friday

Monday List -

• Monday - Please text Michelle Finley if you need a spot after 6pm Sunday

Sign up rule: If your time slot is full, please sign up for a later time slot in the day and add a NOTE that says (time slot full). You can also sign up for cleanup shift if the space is open. If all the slots are full after (and cleanup is full), then you can contact Jennie M for Saturday or Michelle Finley for Monday to get a slot prior to your name slot. We try hard to keep folks in their last name slot for fairness. Also, we do sometimes have to add slots before the shop time or double up in order to make sure every family has an opportunity to shop.

Failure to follow these directions may result in  your name being taken off and you will need to re-schedule. Please keep your personal calendar open for shopping and do not plan events around shopping time if you plan to shop and ask for us to re-schedule you. There are 2 opportunities (days) for you to shop. There are times for many reason we may ask to move you. Please be mindful we are coordinating over 150 families and just over 450 individuals. 

There are also slots for our volunteers to shop mid shopping to make the day smoother and allow for our volunteers to shop the same day. Some of the names will NOT be in the correct space because they are volunteering and pre-scheduled weekly for the slot. If you have suggestions to make this program better, we welcome them. 

Please be mindful that you click the proper day below-I made the title link easier (Click the day of the week to get to the sign up).  Please be mindful of signing up that you will actually shop. If you shop on Saturday and skip, do not call with notice, etc you will not be allowed to shop on Monday. 

Lastly, Please remember that there it is imperative to keep the shopping schedule accurate, we need shoppers to get through the shopping line without having side conversations. This is to keep the check-ins on-time and the carts in constant rotation.

Cancelled: Bulk Green Bean Distribution

PCS Gleaners, 

Our Bulk Green Bean special distribution on Saturday is cancelled.

Sorry for any and all inconveniences. We found out today that PCS Gleaners are not getting the green beans after all.  Linn-Benton Food Share received the entire donation and will be distributing amongst the Linn-Benton area food banks and gleaning groups.  I’m really sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused. 

Volunteer Opportunities Week 08/01/25-08/07/25

    Reminders:

 1. You are limited to 2 check in or out shifts per month.

2. You are not allowed to sign up for check in / out back to back.

3. Everyone must sign up to volunteer via the sign up genius unless pre-authorized by the Volunteer Coordinator, Anna (541-600-7451 or gleaners.volunteer@philomathcommunityservices.org) OR, Jennie on Saturday and Michelle on Monday.

Special Distribution on Saturday: Green Beans

Want bulk green beans?

Text Jen Love today at (971) 241-5252 with how much you want to pick up in pounds. She needs to let the distributor how much we will need as a group.

You'll need to be able to pick them up Saturday anytime during distribution 12-4.

Six Shifts Need Covered Tomorrow, Saturday

PCS Gleaners, 

Tomorrow there are six openings:

dishwasher, two floaters, a 2-4 check out and a few clean up shifts.

It is crucial that we have reliable and consistent help or we will have no choice but to cut distribution down to one day a week. 

Jules, Linda, and Jennie M are very grateful for the faithful Saturday crew that always shows up, however they still need help.

It is the end of the month so if you need to get hours in now is the time to step up.
