We are only one week away from our October pick-up day! Our drivers will be at your home (or designated pick-up location) next Saturday, OCTOBER 8th, between 9am-12:30pm. Please have your red bag out and ready to go by 9:00am. When our drivers take your filled red bag, they'll leave you an empty one for next time. Tax receipts will be emailed out after the pick-up. Things to know about this pick-up:
If you know you will NOT be participating next Saturday, please be sure to let us know by replying to this email so we don't needlessly stop by your home. These reminders are a bulk mailing, so please disregard it if you've already notified us -- no need to do so again.
If you decide to drop your bag off directly to The Salvation Army's (TSA) food bank instead of having us pick it up on October 8th, please email us to let us know you will not need pick-up at your home. Located at 3001 R Avenue, TSA's front office hours are Mon - Thurs, 9am-4pm (closed 12-1pm for lunch). A replacement red bag can be found just inside their front office door in the lobby.
