so today i went to cradles to crayons with some people from my fellowship (aacf). basically my group went to sort out shoes. we cleaned them up, decided which ones to keep/throw out/donate, and shelved them :) it was really fun and in about an hour and a half, the eight of us finished sorting over 120 pairs of shoes. the other group went to work toys - cleaning them and making packages.
i was amazed by just how much stuff the warehouse had gathered and received in donations. for example, reebok donated a good 40 something pairs of brand new sneakers. the shelves were PACKED with bags of clothes and random stuff. anyways, so as we were working, our leader told us about some children who couldn't go to school for a week because their shoes were so broken down. it was comforting to know that all the shoes we sorted through would eventually help these kids in need. its also uplifting to see just how many people in Massachusetts really care and want to help out. you can be one of them too!
