We had 258 members order 2,788 different items this cycle, with 567 being transplants. Total purchases were about $16,650, which is about $2,700 more than same cycle sales from last year.
That’s a 24% growth rate. It’s also four cycles in a row with growth in sales over last year’s numbers.
We are pleased, and we’ll have your products ready for you to come pick up this week during our distributions. Here’s some instructions:
1. If you are picking up at Franklin Plaza, be sure to check out products available for purchase in our Retail Center. There are lots of good stuff you can add to your online orders.
2. Specifics on times and locations for all our sites are available with this link and to the left.
NOTE: IF YOU ARRIVE BEFORE THE SCHEDULED START TIME, OUR VOLUNTEERS WON’T BE READY. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND BE PATIENT.
3. Our alternative pick up time will be from 10:30 to noon on Saturday, May 13. If we don’t see you Thursday, we’ll assume you are coming Saturday.
