The St. John Relief is in need of some willing procurement volunteers. What we mean by “Procurement”: this role entails people who are willing to contact the listed types of stores or organizations to find out what they are willing to donate or sell with any sort of discount to the families affected by this fire. We are asking that if you sign up, it means that you “own” an entire responsibility as a church, group, or individual. This will require coordination on your part, but we love seeing people come together and see the hands and feet of Jesus do what they are called to do.

Here are the different procurement opportunities that we have available. We could use your help in contacting these types of stores, so that we can quickly obtain the items needed get these families back on their feet.

• DISCOUNT/DEPARTMENT STORES (Especially for kitchen sets: BigLots, Sears, Fallas Discount Store, etc.)

• FURNITURE STORES (Esp for beds, tables, couches: Ikea, RoomStore, etc)

• SHOE STORES (Payless, etc.)

• CLEANING SUPPLIES (Home Depot, Target, etc. – Fabuloso (disinfectant), Toilet brushes, mops, etc )

• CRAIG’S LIST (Both to search and shop for free stuff and post needs for free stuff)

• ASK CHURCHES TO ADOPT ALL NEEDS OF SPECIFIC FAMILIES (provide for all household needs a family has who lost everything)
