Volunteers to help with the event are also welcome. The association seeks assistance from college students, employees and community members. Help is needed to set up the sale items in White City on Oct. 3, and in Grants Pass on Oct. 5. Volunteers are also needed on the days of the sales to keep the donation tables looking nice and to pack up leftovers for donation to the Gospel Rescue Mission of Grants Pass. Those interested in volunteering should contact Pam Green for more information at: PGreen@roguecc.edu or 541-956-7347.
AAWCC-RCC thanks those who helped with the $1 Clothing Sale at RCC in the spring of 2022. The one-day sale at Grants Pass campus raised $1,153 toward RCC student scholarships and programs.
“We really appreciate the support this event has received from the community. It is a great way for people to invest in the future of our community while shopping some excellent deals. Some donations are brand new with the tags still on them, so you purchase something that could have cost $50 for just $1. Every sale has different items from leather jackets to brand named shoes and purses. You never know what you will find!” said Angelica Woods-Reuter, AAWCC-RCC events coordinator.
