We need your opinion - Members please vote on this and help us decide.

 Members, 

We need your HELP! We don't know the right way to handle the following and decided this is really something that all members have a say in. Your vote will count and Alicia will post the winning opinion. Qu

We got in 2 high value items for our program that were donated for the sale happening next weekend. The problem is that these items are of higher value than just $10.00. Our sale is pay what you can afford or what you think the item is worth. Questions have come to us what we should really do. There are pros and cons to all options. 

So, instead of Patty and Alicia making a decision, we have decided that this should be up to the membership and how they would like it handled. 

Items: 1 nice TV and 1 playstation

We have 3 choices :

1. Keep it in the sale and put it out Saturday morning. First come first serve. Could this go for $1.00? Should this go for $1.00? Questions that are hard to answer. 

2. Pull it from the sale and put it in a drawing that anyone can enter and no money is involved. 

3. Put it up for BID. Alicia would come up with a way to make a bidding system that would be free but like an online auction. 

Please vote as we need the members help on this issue. Voting will stay open until Monday evening at 9pm. 

We will post the results on Tuesday.

Last Saturday of the Month - 3 Programs open

Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the Month. 

What does that mean? 

Gleaners is open regular shopping hours! 

Food bank is open 12 - 3pm

JKK is open 12 - 3pm. 

Philomath Community Services has offered for all 3 programs to be open at the same time to help our community. This gives our community members a weekend day to shop at both Food Bank and JKK. 

This does mean that we are more busy with people, cars, etc at the site from 12-3pm. If you shop at the Philomath Food Bank - they offer a 2nd shopping experience on the last Saturday of the month for the community. The Food Bank often has different foods that gleaners and it might be worth a shopping trip to discover what they have. Our Food Bank Program Managers and volunteers are wonderful and would love to help you shop there. 

JKK still offers the one time shopping experience. This is a great program to help our children and families with clothing, shoes, diapers, wipes. One of our gleaners actually runs the Saturday at Junes Kid Closet. Make sure to say hello to Amanda and get in some shopping. 

Saturday Shopping sign up list for April 29

Dollar Dayz (Yard Sale) - Monday Volunteers sign up (May 8th)

 Realized we could use volunteers to man the Dollar Dayz on Monday too! Sign up here and get those hours in and help the program! 

We are planning our first dollar dayz of the season. Dollar days is a gleaners yard sale. Members bring in unwanted items they do not want (please have them clean and ready to put out). No items can be items we have received as part of a distribution. 

No children allowed. We value the children of the group and being that this is in the parking lot, we need to put safety first. We do not want children running in the parking lot with many cars coming and going during the day. We only need the number of people listed to manage the sale, please do not bring any more than who is signed up. 

We do not price our items. We will have people manning the sale but our sale is "pay what you think the item is worth, or what you can afford".
