From those phone calls, we have 16 members who have “come back” and started shopping again. Special thanks to these 16! If you haven’t shopped in a while, please join them and start buying. At the current time, lapsed members are allowed to shop without signing up for a shift (although we’d love to get you back in a shift as well). The bottom line is we need to increase our sales, and you can help us do that.

Remember to place your order online by Monday evening to ensure your items will be available that Thursday. You can still walk in and “shop the shelves,” although we may be out of some items you want. Ordering online is the best way to ensure your items will be available to you. So, right now, look at your grocery list and figure out what you can order in advance (cans, jars, TP, etc.), then sign into the store and order them. You’re purchases will help keep us afloat.
