Grant information:  

Current Grants: 

Siletz grant 22-03 – 253.75 remaining 

We had another donor write us a check for $500 and we are going to track these funds although there were no restrictions on the funds.  

Chambers Grant for canning lids and freezer bags – all item purchased. Just need to be sorted 

We do track our funds the best we can. PCS also tracks fund in QuickBooks. Just for reference: We started the year with about 14,054.30 in restricted funds for the gleaners. Our current funds are 13,728.94. This means that we have only depended upon the PCS finances in the amount of $325.36. This is huge as we work really hard to be a self-sufficient program and are extremely thankful that PCS works hard to pay the power bill, keep the cooler running, fix broken faucets, etc. It is the effort of all of our members who make fundraising possible!  

 

Grants Pending responses:  

 

Grants Working on:  

Fred Meyer Community Grant – Alicia is requesting for Toilet paper and Paper towels – it is almost ready to sent out  

Walmart Community Grant – PCS redid a grant for May so we will try to do in August. 

Bi-Mart Community Grant – Still working on this one  

Roundhouse – requesting food and hygiene items. Grant is almost complete. 

Timmy is looking into Patagonia grants

Drawing - Sign up by 5pm on Thursday (August 5th)

Please sign up by 5pm on Thursday August 4th.  You MUST plan on shopping either August 6th or 8th to pick up items. 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 3 items. Please tell us your 1st, 2nd, 3rd choices.

Example:
First Last Name - 1
First Last Name - 2
First Last Name - 3

YOU MUST ENTER YOUR NAME - First and Last name as we have many members who have the same first name. If you put YES, I don't know who you are.
