We continue to be blessed with awesome customers and wonderful donations. We are so appreciative. Most days there are over 30 shopping carts that are full of treasures. Our amazing volunteers continue to be so busy sorting, cleaning, pricing and displaying our wonderful donations. We will have an Easter coloring event with prizes for children of Quartzsite. We have coloring pages that kiddos can be pick up and return to us by close of day Tuesday April 16th. We have really neat prizes! We will be closed Good Friday, April 19th and Saturday April 20th for Easter. Thanks for dropping off your donations in the baskets out front. Our new signage helps direct you to our donation cart area. This really helps with our traffi c fl ow across the front driveway without blocking traffi c. A reminder that our Medical Needs room is full. Needing crutches, wheelchair, walker, oxygen tubing, limb braces, etc, we have these items that are loaned out. Just ask. Remember we have an adult and child diaper program too. Those needing assistance with these items, we can help you. This is funded by grant monies from Town of Quartzsite. Please ask. It has been an amazing season at your local Salvation Army. I'd like to thank ALL the volunters who have given so many hours to making us such an amazing success. We are a village and all your hard work is so greatly appreciated. As many are leaving to return to their "other" homes, please know you are greatly treasured. May your journeys be blessed, and we'll see you around the bend next season. Thanks to the "At Home" volunteers too that fl atten out our shopping bags-we use many each day. We appreciate you!
