With more than just a little help from Ryan and Karen, Leanne, Brandee, Mendy, Rachel, and Kelvin, the MAM room clothing has been organized (again.) At least for now, men's, women's, and children's are all in "departments," which are divided into sections. Plus, the food pantry has been re-stocked. Our next move is to put expiration dates on each item of clothing so that anyting that doesn't move in six months is either donated to Goodwill or discarded. We hope that this will serve to keep our merchandise volume relatively low.
We are still moving forward on the 9X13 luncheon, so we need to solidify plans for food prep and table set-up. Rachel suggested July 10 (which a Friday). We'll need to discuss this further.
Finally, Jim Shearman has approached our group with a new fundraising possibility. He might be interested in donating several large items (furniture, mostly) for an auction, which would serve to fund our soles for souls shoe campaign. This has real potential and needs further development.

The Heitmanns have a few large furniture items to donate also.
ReplyDeleteWe've not had the opportunity to speak with Jim about this concept further, but we, too, would have a supply of items to offer such as a stereo and a laptop computer. If you run across Jim in passing, please ask him about this project!
