Workers are ususally there on Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Food bank items may be dropped off on Wednesdays and Saturdays
from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

If you are on the calendar you can use the building. Anyone can get on the calendar by contacting the RABC, call 446-1040 to be put in touch with the proper authority or contact us through this web site. Depending on the use (one room or the building, a one time use or a weekly meeting) you may have to bring your request to the board. Most non-profits will require no or a very small fee. Others will pay a nominal fee to help with the building expenses.
At present there are things that can be done to prepare the
building for use. The exterior is finished. Yea... There is much to do on the interior. As funds come in we will continue to restore class rooms etc.
We need funds to keep the building going so Thrift Store workers
are necessary every Wednesday through Saturday. Come volunteer and shop.
At present everyone connected to the building is a volunteer. All thrift store funds go to utilities and restoration. All food bank funds and donations stay right there to help those in need of food.
Board meetings are on the first and third Thursdays, presently at 6:00 p.m. subject to cancellation. If you plan to attend double check by calling Sally at 446-7849 or Karen at 446-2303. The public is invited to attend any and all board meetings.
The Rainier Historical Society has had ORCCA and Advance Environmental look at and rid the building of any and all threatening asbestos. There is no danger of exposure. The air quality has tested clean throughout the building. Yes, the building is safe!!!
