Donations and Support


We Need You!

 

The Rainier Historical Society is looking for members and supporters.

We need your support to renovate the Rainier Historic School, 207 Centre St.  Using this historic building makes sense.  It was built with old growth timber and has come through many an earthquake without damage to it's structure.  Can we say as much for our capitol or some of our homes?  Even though renovation is not complete it already houses many things.  The Rainier Food and Clothing Bank is in the basement of the building.  The Rainier Library is on the main floor along with a Gallery that you can show in.  It is a community use building and it makes sense folks!  Please see your way clear to make the Historic School one of your regular charities.  Thank you.


Support & Volunteers

 

Please remember that much of our support is volunteering to help.  Right now we are in need of people who can volunteer some time to the Thrift Store (supports the building utilities and daily function), the food bank and the newly opened Rainier Library.  Thrift Store and Library hours are Wednesday through Saturday 10 to 4.   Come help for a three hour shift or all day. 

Food Bank Wednesday & Saturday 9:30 to noon though they need volunteers to run pick ups just about every day of the week. 

 We could use help with . . .  paint, paint, paint. Stripping of layers of old paint off of woodwork (doors, trim, moulding) and refinish with sanding and varnish.

DONATIONS?  Yes, we take your gently used donations.  No large furniture.  (We don't have room for the larger items.)  You can receive an invoice for your donations for IRS purposes.  Please do not drop off items without someone acknowledging your presence.  (Did you know it is illegal to drop things off without someone present to accept the donation?)

Please use our "contact us" button for any and all questions related to the Building Renovation or LifeLong Learning Center or call Karen at 446-2303.
