I hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend despite the weather! I just have a couple of things to mention and ask of my fellow neighbors…..
I noticed that someone has left a mattress at the Cabinet. If someone wants or needs it, please take it ASAP. It has been there several days and I would hate for it to get wet with all the rain we are having and/or for it to become a nest for rodents and bugs.
While I do hope to one day have the resources and infrastructure to have a free thrift store to help serve our neighbors, I currently am not to that point. Right now the primary focus of the Care Cabinet is to meet food insecurity needs and basic care essentials. Unfortunately it just isn’t set up or equipped to take large items like furniture, bedding, etc.. I do not own the property where the Cabinet is located, so I want to be respectful of those that do and graciously allow me to use it for this specific purpose.
Having said that, I want to thank our community for your generosity in serving others. However, I’m going respectfully to ask that the mattress be removed by Monday or I will have to dispose of it. This isn’t because I’m not grateful for the generosity, but I’m just not set up for these types of donations.
If anyone has items they want to donate that fall into the large item categories such as furniture (or anything that doesn’t fit inside the Cabinet), please message me and I will gladly post it on this page for you! I’m sure we have neighbors in need of those type of items as well.
As always, thank you for loving this community and being a part of giving back to our people!
