Project update
To local supporters…A sincere thank you.
We’re now beginning, and celebrating our sixth year in business! Your continued generosity and patronage have been essential to our success, and we consider you our partners on the road to sustainable living. GRC continues to be a very dynamic and exciting journey.
Accomplishments
Without grants or loans, we could not have started this business five years ago without community support. Brian & Lorraine Carlstrom lent us a retail space free-of-charge for 6 months! Joe Fields donated a pick-up truck. Hood River Garbage loaned us a shipping container to keep merchandise out of the rain and snow. And numerous unsolicited funds flowed in from individual contributors which helped us through our crucial first winter!
From that humble beginning, we have managed to create four stable jobs which are paid for exclusively from sales revenue made by diverting valuable building materials to our store.
We now have a solid staff, (, Patrick, , Darlene, Jo and Jeff) working very hard to process your donations, display them in an inviting fashion, and keep this place running. AND - a Huge Thanks to all the volunteers who have continued to support us!
