About:
We learned on Friday of an urgent need for volunteers on Sunday at Project Just Because, a local charity that gives food, clothing and more to families in need. To make room for incoming pallets of food, they needed a large amount of boxes moved in the warehouse. Despite the short notice and everyone’s busy schedules 15 of us spent 4 hours taking Rubbermaid bins out of one section, opening them and sorting winter coats by size, repacking, counting, labeling, and sealing the bins before moving them to a back wall of the warehouse. I lost count of the number of coats and bins we moved but the bins stacked four or five high and three deep covered most of the back wall of a large warehouse room. The athletes who volunteered spanned all grades and some had still been competing through the previous weekend in indoor track so had not had a weekend off in months.
