Topic: Clothes Day / Helping
Every flat surface in the office has clothes piled on it. The wall racks are more than half full and more clothes are promised for later today or Friday. We will need them so please pray that they do come. This is one more reminder that this is God's project not ours. This will be our 6th Clothes Day and the first time we have attempted to serve all the counties in one place. Our new office is just one mile from the White County / Habersham County line and only about 10 miles from Hall County. Last year we served almost 300 children,teens and adults. Here are some pictures A couple came over Monday afternoon and helped unload the bags of clothes that were all over the floor. It was great to have their help. Other years I have been so frazzled by the end of the last Clothes Day that I was just about useless. This year we get to set up ahead of time. The washer at home is full and at least 2 loads to go of things that were stored and need to be freshened up. This is a very full week. Besides Clothes Day we have people needing emergency food, senior and disabled food needs, a special push for fund raising which means going out to see business owners who want to be sponsors, calls from other agencies needing info on resources for people they are trying to help, Calls from people needing help with lights, rent, medicine. fund raising is urgent because there are so many needs. Then this evening a call about a missing teen. Does anyone have a way to create some 40 hour days? We are trying to help a family who left here expecting good year round jobs elsewhere get moved back after they found the expectations were untrue.
