An amazing community member, Jennifer Sparkleberry, has volunteered to help pair up folks who are losing SNAP benefits with folks who want to assist.

We are open today until about 7pm.

The Shed is pretty well stocked right now, although there is some space in the fridge for donations. Our biggest wishlist item is volunteer time to tidy and put expired/broken items in the bins.

Questions:
1. If we were to expand our hours, what day should we add? Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday?
2. Who can volunteer to clean up on a recurring basis? We need volunteers for every day except Friday.

Hello wonderful people! I am thinking about expanding open hours for The Giving Shed, which leads me to two questions.

1. What day would be most beneficial to add?

2. Is anyone able to commit to cleaning once a week? (Any day except for Fridays, because Padget takes care of us on Fridays.
