Please sign up by 2pm, May 3rd.  You MUST plan on shopping either May 4th (Saturday) or May 6th (Monday) .  We will not tell you if you won or not as that is a lot of emails, etc. If you are not in town or do not plan to be shopping, then do NOT sign up. Any items not picked up by Monday shopping will be put back into the drawing for the next drawing. We do not save items unless we forget your items or we miss it on our end.

If you sign up and skip shopping or don't let us know, you will not be able to enter into the next drawing.

You can enter for 2 items. Please tell us your 1st, 2nd choice.

Adding the day of the week after your name will help us with sorting and "hopefully" save us some time.

Please help welcome Anna

Hi Everyone! 

Please help welcome Anna to the team of volunteers who will be keeping you connected. Anna is taking over the volunteer coordinating and scheduling person. 

Anna posted her first post on Thursday for shopping sign ups. The email if you need to contact Anna is Gleaners.volunteer@philomathcommunityservices.org

Anna also has Whatsapp and can be contacted through that as well. From here on out, she will be your contact for changes that need done on the volunteer schedule if it is 24 hours prior to your scheduled time. For instance if you need to cancel a sign up at least 1 day before the scheduled volunteer time -- please email/text Anna. If you are cancelling last minutes (0-24 hours until your time), please message PATTY for all days except Monday. On Monday, you can message Linda or Alicia. 

We have had a few glitches - some of her emails went to folks SPAM folder, so if you didn't get the sign up to shop email on Thursday, please check your spam folder and approve so you will get future emails.

Monday List -

READ TODAY : 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 Patty for Saturday or Alicia for Monday to get a slot prior to your name slot. We try hard to keep folks in their last name slot for fairness. 

READ TODAY: 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 Patty and I may ask to move you. Please be mindful we are coordinating over 175 families and just over 520 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. Our membership is FULL and every shopping spot is important.
