Why do we need a supplies & purchasing service?
Our meeting hall has very limited storage space. It is also a commercial building, not a residential one, and for the same purpose it may require very different parts. Parts designed for homes may not fit a commercial building, or may break too quickly to be used there. The supplies and purchasing service understands this and knows where to get parts that fit our meeting hall.
Because space is limited, who buys the supplies also needs to be coordinated. If two or three saints all go out to buy paper towels, the towels very likely won't fit our dispensers, and we'll end up with more than we can store, cluttering the storage areas. As we have one meeting hall, we need one coordinated service to stock it.
How soon will the request be fulfilled?
It depends on how many active requests there are and which are more or less urgent. When conditions are right, the serving ones may wait until there are enough items to place one larger order with the supplier instead of several smaller ones. There may also be some fellowship behind the scenes if we need to change what we buy or change suppliers, so some requests take longer to fulfill.
I filled out a request earlier, but now there's no toilet paper left. What should I do?
Please contact your district serving brothers or the supplies and purchasing serving ones directly, or fill out a new request indicating that it is now urgent. Most likely the supply has already been purchased, but it's good to let the serving ones know about the current situation so they can act accordingly.
I'm not good with computers. Is there another way to submit a request?
Definitely. There are 3 additional options:
- Fill out and submit a paper form in storage closet S11.
- Inform the responsible brother in your district, and he can submit the request for you using the form below.
- The responsible brother in your district can post the request in the brothers' WeChat group, and we will submit the request on your behalf.
