Greensburg Garden Center
Thank you one and all for contributing your skills, time and talent
for another successful G.G.C year!
Greensburg Garden Center depends on its volunteers to help out with a variety of needs; from gardening or baking to making crafts for our annual sales. Volunteer hours are logged for Grants and sponsors. Volunteering is a great chance to make new friends and reconnect with old ones in our community.
The GGC Board is looking back at what worked, while looking ahead in ways to improve the 2023 Christmas sale. People working the volunteer workshops in September, October and November have noted that they have not been well attended. There is a core group of helpers that persevere through the season, but more volunteers are needed and would be much appreciated.
It has also been noted that some people don’t feel they have the skill to help or that an hour of time won’t make a difference – But it does! If ten people give one hour each, that is TEN HOURS of much-needed volunteer time.
In an effort to prepare more efficiently for the 2023 holiday sale, which is one of GGC’s biggest fund raisers for the year, the volunteer committee is going to schedule several ‘crafting get-together’s’ on a more regular basis.
The committee is considering a meetup every 4 – 6 weeks with a specific focus on making one item at each session. It has also been suggested to have a ‘make one-take one’ crafting meetup. This will be a fun time making a Christmas craft or ornament and creating a second to take home with the volunteer.
These workshops will save time and give GGC a step-up on the minutia of the holiday season in autumn. By spreading out the craft preparations we hope to be ready for the final rush in September, October and November for the sale.
Also, do you have an idea for a Christmas craft sale item? Please let us know! We are open to all ideas in an effort to keep the sale fresh for our holiday shoppers.
Volunteer crafting gatherings will be announced when scheduled. If you are interested in being involved or have an idea please feel free to contact us.
A big thank you to any and all who helped make our Christmas Sale a success this year—it does take a village! In regard to that fact, we are requesting decorations of items for specific creations we are planning for the 2023 sale.
In 2022 We had 3,629 volunteer hours logged!
Many thanks to one and all!
If you volunteer for any reason please log your hours on the volunteer sheet in the office.
Anything that you did outside of normal club meeting time for the benefit of the Garden Center can be calculated as volunteer time.
