Shopping Sign Up for June 14th and 16th

 

Saturday list -    

•     Saturday - Please text Jenni 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.

Volunteer Opportunities Week 06/13/25 - 06/19/25

Drawing ends on (Wednesday June 4) @ 12pm

Drawing ends on  (Wednesday June 4) @ 12pm

Only One submitted entry per Household is allowed.  If you enter more than one time and win anything you will be given only one item which will be from your first entry. A second offense will cause the offender to be disqualified from the drawing and not permitted to enter into the next drawing. 

One submitted entry per household is all that’s permitted. 

Thank you all for your fairness and kindness.

**PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT WRITE "YOUR NAME + Day you are shopping", YOU WILL NOT WIN. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME IN EACH ENTRY**

Please sign up by  Thursday, March 20. You MUST plan on shopping either June 7 (Saturday) or  (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 ONLY 3 items. 

Example:
First Last Name - 1S (Add day of week HERE "M for Monday or "S" for Saturday)
First Last Name - 2M (Add day of week HERE "M for Monday or "S" for Saturday)

First Last Name - 3M (Add day of week HERE "M for Monday or "S" for Saturday)

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

You may enter more than once for an item. Understand that you will only win one of the item, but you may put your "tickets" in the same drawing if desired.  

Example: You really want a box of chocolates so you  use two (of your three entries) and enter 1S & 2S in the chocolate category. (Upping your chances for winning that item)  You might use your 3S entry for a different item. 

**PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT WRITE "YOUR NAME + a letter for the day you are shopping", YOU WILL NOT WIN. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME IN EACH ENTRY**

Urgent: Help Needed this morning at PCS

 We need more people to sign up to help on Monday! We need two floaters from 9-12am today at PCS (a floater is just someone who shows up available to help where needed. You don’t necessarily need to be able to lift a lot, you will be stocking shelves and refrigerators, repacking snacks, getting shelves ready to shop, etc. ) Thanks!
