WHAT'S NEW...
GRAHN TRIP - #47
Sept. 19 & 20, 2024
Volunteers who loaded a UHaul trailer, Tom, Bill and Becky, Jim, and Bob
People who were at community center to help unload: Gay, Bob & Starlene, John, Billy, Katie, Logan, Ben, Roger, Rita, Carolyn, and Sonja Lisa
Community center is open Thursdays and Fridays 10-2, Carolyn & Sonja in the thrift shop and Gay in the craft shop. In between when they aren't open, people who need food and/or clothing or people who just want to shop or need something can call Starlene and she will meet them there.
They can use furniture, children's clothing. Take only name brand and very good condition clothing. Craft shop sells holiday decorations like Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Patriotic (red, white, and blue)
Local churches give away food once a month so they no longer donate food to GSCC food pantry.
A lot of the furniture has sold. That seems to be a good source of income.
Discussed with Starlene ways to bring in more customers. She suggested they post on the Facebook page that donations have arrived.
We organized the children's section. Girls clothes on the first rack, boys on the second: short sleeve, long sleeve shirts, pants, skirts/dresses, coats/jackets; Emptied and hung up only one box; Removed most summer clothes and either re-stored or packed in a box for John to take to foster organization. Gay had boxes ready to use.
Excess clothes are being picked up by the VA in Grayson and a foster organization in Olive Hill. They take adult and children's clothing to assist the foster children as well as their foster families. Box up these types of items that aren't name brand, for John to take to VA and foster organization.
