Receiving Calendar

This is a page for pre-announcing major drop offs and such.

"If you can, encourage them to do a drop-off between 10:45 am and 1:00 pm (Receiving is usually busy at 10:00 am every morning because of simultaneously getting donations and training volunteers. However, two staff members are scheduled for the first half of the day, so it's at least preferable to have them come then).

Also, discourage Thursday morning drop-offs because Free Geek gets off-site donations then, so we don't have as many push-carts available to handle that kind of volume."
