Committee member raises concern that items were taken from Senior Center thrift store

J. Ciejka, Chair, convened the Senior Center Council on Aging (COA) meeting in September 2018, where committee member C. Wloch reported concerns about missing items from the center's thrift store. Wloch said she had been told that "items were taken from the store without paying for the items," a claim that prompted follow-up by staff.

Staff member J. Zienowicz responded that the center follows a multi-step process for donated goods: items unfit for sale are disposed of, some are held for pricing and placement on shelves, and some are redirected to other charitable organizations such as Big Brothers, Goodwill, and Jubilee Cupboard when appropriate. Zienowicz offered to look into the specific concerns raised by Wloch. No formal action was taken beyond committing staff to investigate.
