We need HELP

Dear PCG Family,

In the past couple of weeks, several of our core volunteers have experienced some issues surrounding their home life that have made it extremely difficult for them to help volunteer. I am writing to every one of you as a member of our amazing organization to ask for help. We have a large Target load coming in tomorrow that everyone will benefit from for the next couple of weeks. We need your help. We are getting a forklift to unload the product, so we need help dividing the product among pallets. We also need help marking barcodes, and stocking our cages and shelves. We also need help on Friday to process donations, stock shelves, and unload the Linn-Benton Food Share order.

I realize many of you have already completed your volunteer hours for this month, and I appreciate everyone for doing this, but please consider putting in a couple of more hours so that it will help lighten the load for those who have already signed up to help.

Thanks

Patty

2.3.2 Non-Compliance POLICY REMINDER

Members,

As we are closing in on July, I want to remind everyone of the policy on volunteer hours. We had to send out MANY letters for June hours not being put in. This program is a hand up and each and every member is required to put in the time to make this program effectively work. 

Please be aware of the policy as it is posted to the BLOG. We do not guarantee any hours the very last week of the month, and it is not our responsibility to squeeze you in. We have had plenty of opportunity for everyone to participate! 

It is also each members responsibility to write your hours down on the sheet. 

2.3.2 Non-Compliance

If five hours monthly  requirements have not been  met, the  following is the process: 

Month  1: an email notice will be sent  to check on  members and to encourage 5 hours of participation for month  2. 

Month  2: Member household will receive an email or letter stating they  need to meet the minimum of 5 hours plus whatever hours  they missed from the previous  month in order to remain in Good  Standing.

Month  3: Member will be put  on a 1-month  suspension.  If the  household  does not return to  the program and volunteer to  complete the 5 hours plus whatever hours  are missing from the previous  months,  during this suspension  period, the Member Household  will be terminated for a period of one  year.

Items up for Grabs

We have a few items up for grabs. They are being donated from a board member. They are free but as always if you would like to donate to the program you are welcome to. 

Sign up ends at 9pm on Friday the 22nd. Please sign up for the items via the google form linked here:

Volunteer for Cycle Oregon - JULY 23rd

Volunteer for Cycle Oregon at Peace Lutheran Church on July 23 and get your volunteer hours in for the Month. PCS is running this fundraiser with Cycle Oregon. PCS pays for our building, our utilities, and keeps all 5 programs running. As gleaners, we can help out. 

Please help out PCS and get your volunteer hours in for the month. Remember, you need 5 hours this month! 

The volunteer job is to help set up, serve food, and clean up at the rest stop for cyclers on the Cycle Oregon event. The job does requrire some heavy lifting (I would assume this is setup and take down crew).

Volunteer rules for the Benton County Fair

Hello Members, 

Many of you have signed up for the fair. After some discussion and working with the fair contract, we have some things to share that we understand may change you signups. This is our first year with this fundraiser, so we are learning right along with you. 

1. Volunteer must be 14 and over to volunteer. 
2. No children under 14 will be allowed to tag along. This is not coming from the gleaners but from the rules and also a liability standpoint. 

If you need to make changes to your volunteer times, please do so as soon as you can so we know where we need to fill in gaps. We need to have the spots filled no later than Midnight July 19th.
