It’s Time to Take Inventory

We’ve all heard the phrase, “it’s time to take inventory”.  Well, on January 5, starting at 9AM that is precisely what we need to do in all our departments!

Care & Share closes its books every December 31.  Financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and an independent public accountant performs an annual audit of our records.  Part of the work in closing the books is to take a “physical inventory”.  Put simply, that means we count the merchandise we have on the floor at the start of the new year.

We will perform a retail inventory on Monday, January 5, 2026.  We count the number of units we have, and record on paper the unit count and the retail sticker price.  It’s straightforward, and with plenty of help, can be completed in one day or less.

Our managers would greatly appreciate any volunteers who can help us count our shelves on January 5.  Teams of two are paired up, one to count, the other to write it down on the inventory sheets.  Teams are assigned areas of the shoppes and work methodically to cover the assigned areas.  Counting begins at 9AM and continues until completed.  The shoppes are open during this time.  

If you would like to help, we would deeply appreciate your assistance, even if Mondays aren’t your usual day to volunteer!  As an added thank you, we will serve pizza for lunch to team members who are working on the 5th!
