Saturday 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.

Spare room - Income - Individual looking for a place

A note from Mark at PCS: 


I wonder if there are any Gleaners who would be interested in sharing their home for extra income.


My friend, James Paul, used to donate his garden's organic produce to the Marys River Gleaners and is now looking for a place to live. He is willing to pay $700 to $1,000 per month to a Gleaner or Gleaner family for a compatible home.

He prefers non-users of tobacco or illegal drugs; and someone who is willing to help with household care, is "solvent" (I had to look that up - I guess someone who is not deep in debt,) and is good natured.

I can personally attest that James is very kind and orderly. He is an older gentleman in his 70s and has been very involved in the local sustainability/nonprofit scene. He has his own car and belongings and would surely help with routine chores around the house.

One other note: James has no pets but has no problems if housemates have pets (he likes birds, cats, dogs, pollinators and other critters.)

If you think you might have space for him, please reach out to Mark:
