Donate Nearly-New items for Thriftmas
INCO is partnering with Astoria Harvest to create a Thriftmas event that is a free, no-cost, and no-barrier items for community members in need, so that everyone can experience the magic of holidays and community support without financial barriers.
Do you have any nearly-new stuff to donate? That toy your toddler never played with, a sweater that just didn't fit right or the bestseller you're not gonna read - they're all perfect for donation to Thriftmas!
Contact us at info@incoregon.org and we'll work with you to set a time and place to drop off.
Thriftmas is the practice of participating in the holidays by buying all things - or most - at thrift stores and secondhand shops. In addition to eschewing national retailers and buying local, it's a growing trend that's transforming how people approach holiday gift-giving,

10 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT OUR ELECTIONS
An article by Marc Elias on DemocracyDocket.com
USE YOUR VOICE
5 Calls is the easiest and most effective way for U.S. constituents to make a political impact.
Find your representative — they won't know what you want if you don't tell them.
Tell Congress and state officials to stop the Trump-Republican authoritarian takeover. If successful, they will unravel our government, endanger our safety and security, and steal our money.
Senator Ron Wyden 202-224-5244 or 503-326-7525
Senator Jeff Merkley 202-224- 3753 or 503-326-3386
Representative Suzanne Bonamici 202-225-0855 or 503-469-6010
Governor Tina Kotek 503-378-4582
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield 503-378-4400
Tips for an effective call:
It’s usually best to focus on one topic per call — especially if you want the official to take specific action. Tell how the Trump-GOP actions are affecting you, your family, and community. Use your own words.
Thank the official/staff if you like what they're doing.
Give your name and zip code so they know you're a constituent. Ask for a written response with the official’s position on the issue.
Call or email as often as you can during the week (even daily). Choose one topic per call.
