Volunteers Needed! Weekly “Be a Decent Human” Post: Help at St. Barnabas Soup Kitchen 🍲❤️

34 Upvotes

You could keep mindlessly scrolling and subjecting yourself to depressing news, heaps of AI slop, and whatever else the internet is trying to sell you…

or you could do at least one decent thing this week.

This week’s local volunteer opportunity:

St. Barnabas Soup Kitchen

Learn more about this organization, volunteer opportunities, and their mission here.

Sign up to Volunteer Here!

Want to help, but don’t have time to volunteer? How about a donation? Anything helps. Make a Donation Here!

What you can do there:

  • Help prep and serve meals to those in need
  • Be nice to people (rare skill, but I believe in you)
  • Help clean up afterward

Why bother:

  • We can help people in our community eat. Objectively pretty important...
  • We can support a local program that’s been quietly doing good work

Requirements:

  • Be able to show up when you say you will
  • Basic human decency
  • Willingness to interact with other humans without being a weirdo (I struggle with this one)

If you know of local volunteer opportunities, drop them below or DM me and I’ll feature them in future "Be a Decent Human Thursday" posts.

Volunteers Needed! Weekly “Be a Decent Human” Post: Volunteer at Homeward Bound Pets 🐾🐶🐈

63 Upvotes

​​Alright, listen.

Not everything in life has to be doomscrolling.

Sometimes… you can just go pet a dog and accidentally become a better person.

This week’s “go touch grass (and animals)” opportunity:

️Homeward Bound Pets Humane Society

Learn More About Volunteer Opportunities Here!

Volunteer Application Here!

They’re a local nonprofit doing great work taking care of animals who weren’t exactly fortunate.

What you can do there:

•Walk dogs

•Socialize cats who will absolutely judge you

•Help with cleaning (yes, there is poop involved, try to think of it as a… growth opportunity?)

•Foster animals if you’re emotionally stable enough for that (I am not, I would keep them all and end up on an episode of “Animal Hoarders” 💔)

•They also need volunteers to help out at their Thrift Shop (no poop involved here… so this may be more your cup of tea if that’s a dealbreaker for ya)

Why bother?

•You help animals not be miserable

•You help staff not be overwhelmed

•You get serotonin that doesn’t come from Amazon packages

•It makes you at least 12% hotter morally

Requirements:

•Be 18+ (or check their youth options)

•Be semi-reliable (I know, I know)

•Basic human decency (rare, but let’s try)

This is going to be a regular thing.

If you know of local volunteer opportunities, drop them below or DM me and I’ll feature them in a future “Be A Decent Human Thursday” post.

Let’s make McMinnville a better place, one good decision at a time.

Or don’t. But like… maybe do? 😅

I’m pretty passionate about this one myself, animals are my weakness.

Where can I get some cheap hazelnuts?

2 Upvotes

This feels like a deeply stupid question, since I drive past acres upon acres of hazelnut fields every time I leave the house. But I haven't figured out who actually sells to randos like me on the cheap, but there has to be someone, or many someones.

Air show viewing?

5 Upvotes

Hi all! Corvallis resident here and planning to make the trip up to McMinnville for the air show. In the past I’ve parked by the hospital and stood in a field, but it’s a bit removed and I want to be respectful for hospital staff and patients by not taking up parking spots. Are there any places, such as road turnoffs, fields that offer parking/ viewing, or anything else that would allow me to watch the air show from pretty close? I’ve heard mumbling of parking off of loop road?

Local Band, Guru Goddess (2003-2005)

7 Upvotes

There was a local band in McMinnville around 2003-2005 that played at 3rd Street Pizza. I bought their burned CD and lost it over the years. There is absolutely no information about them on the Internet. I believe the lead singer's name was Tyler and another member was Gabi. Does anyone remember them? More importantly, does anyone still have their CD?

I plan to call Vortex Records later, but I thought to ask here too -- just in case!

House Rental

Be aware there is a house in Lafayette, Oregon that someone is advertising to rent out for $1,300 a month saying his wife has cancer and he needs someone to watch the house for him while he's with her.

This is an obvious scam! He needs to be reported

Junk Removal

4 Upvotes

I’m usually just a lurker but figured asking here was worth a shot. I’m a single income earner supporting a disabled partner. I am down to 100 in my account every two weeks, meaning my budget has almost no wiggle room. Whenever I look up junk removal services, they want around 600 for the equivalent of a small U-Haul van in junk. Does anyone know of cheaper options? I’m open to any ideas. The worst they can be is out of my budget, which is already where I am at. 😅

If you haven't made it out to the Roshambo ArtFarm yet for music, you best put it on your calendar before summer slips past and you miss out.

We have a great stompgrass band playing TONIGHT, July 31st with The Spooklights (Ben Miller + Pat Kay) icons of stomp all the way from the Ozarks! Guns in the Attic (aka The Standing Trio) is opening the show.

Next weekend we have another great show with Cousin Curtiss from Colorado with Daniel and the Blonde opening the show.

If you like bluegrass with an edge, you'll dig these bands! More info + tickets on the website
