Tent sale - staggered event

Families — with the struggle we have been having filling all our volunteer slots — and the huge amount of stuff we have our back…our idea is to doing a staggered sale in the tent. 

For the next few weeks we will have a volunteer come for 1 hour and set up the sale on Saturday. This volunteer slot will be posted with the weekly sign up. 

7/13 - sort and organize what is currently in the tent - sale will be open Saturday and Monday

Starts Saturday at 11am

The next week we will offer another hour to sort and organize and hopefully bring new items in from out back and just keep the items moving along. 

If anyone would like to offer to help post items for sale on Facebook or has ideas of what to do with items after our members have first dibs — please let Alicia know. 

Let’s start with 3 weeks and then we can decide if we continue and how much we have. 

This sale is a “Pay what you can afford or what you think the item is worth”

We can take PayPal too — Alicia will find the code as it goes direct to the PCS checking. If you pay via PayPal — please put a comment or mention “gleaners tent sale” 

 

Monday helpers Needed - Weekly Commitments

!-We need someone who can be a committed Farm Pickup person. Arrive at 9:00 and help out and then at 10am, you would head to the farm with the Farm Lead. Back hopefully by 11 to help setup for distribution. This person needs to be able to lift at least 40#. Would love for this position to start tomorrow. Volunteer time should end around 11:30 or as soon as we are setup.

2- We have a Monday volunteer that lives in Corvallis (by the hospital) that could use a ride to volunteer each Monday. Alicia would set you up for a weekly volunteer slots if you could help with the transportation for our volunteer.
