Shop with a friend to meet mini- mum purchase for free shipping to the store. Let's see how this works. We have had to limit the number of shoppers a few times when the store is crowded. Face coverings are required with nose and mouth covered, and we are doing the one camel six-foot safe distancing. Hand sanitizer is available around the store. We so appreciate your patience and compliance. We will all get through these times. We are so appreciative of your co- operation with our donation proce- dure. The acceptance of donations inside our porch entry is very lim- ited in space. We have labeled carts so that you can self-sort your items. We will help you as we can. We do have to hold and sanitize items be- fore they can be brought into the building. Please understand with these requirements, we cannot take large truck loads of donations at this time. Donations accepted when we are open or with a phone call for other arrangements. Thanks for un- derstanding. With a phone call we can do curbside sales for a specifi c item also.
