Volunteer Sort


The Chaplains receive donated clothes, toys, and school supplies from congregations in the U.S. Volunteers gather on Monday evening to sort the clothes and children's things into categories for donations to Afghan families, orphans, and school children.
Today there was a surfeit of boxes to sort. There wasn't enough room on the sidewalk for all the clothes, toys, and school supplies. Thankfully, we had plenty of volunteers to assist to open the boxes, separate the donations, create bags of goodies, flatten the boxes, and restore the goody bags.
The storage area is getting full. We were planning on a distribution last week, but it was cancelled. We'll need to go out in the near future or we will run out of storage space.
