Happy holidays! I will be out of town for the next three weeks, so I won’t be able to host the Toys for Tots event this year. However, if you are in need of toys, you can still receive them through a Toys for Tots event in Salem. Please call Fatima at 971-408-7502. She is scheduling people to pick up toys on a specific day. If you live in the Santiam Canyon, tell Fatima that Melodie sent you, she needs to keep a specific geographical list of people she signs up. Wishing you all a warm and joyful holiday season ......

It is with great sadness that we announce the end of our free trailer events. Please know the Santiam Canyon Tool Library will continue operations as usual.

When Good360, now known as the Community Resource Center, underwent a change in management, we had hoped to work with them to continue our events. Unfortunately, the new restrictions now in place significantly limit the amount of product we’re allowed to collect, and the annual fee has tripled since we first began.

Despite our best efforts to seek an exception for our canyon events, we were unable to reach a workable solution. Without enough product to support these events, it is no longer sustainable for us to continue. The Community Resource Center has chosen to focus more on supporting the school districts in the area versus various non-profits.

We will truly miss seeing all the wonderful people we’ve met over the years and the warm, friendly environment that made these events so special. Sheri and I got the opportunity to talk to so many nice people who came to our events and we loved the festive atmosphere that the events created. We always had several people volunteer to help set up and put away, which we appreciated every time. We felt it was important to let everyone know that we will miss all the people who attended, the children and of course the dogs!! Thank you for being part of something so special with us....Melodie
