Let the packing begin

What a day!

I was away from school both Thursday and Friday so was thrilled when I arrived this morning to see that we already have a pile of donations starting. The staff and students and families of St. Bernadette never cease to amaze me with how quickly they open their hearts and embrace any chance to give and help. I am so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful community. I have added them to our list of drop-off sites as they are open in evenings too.



From there, I went to Royalton to be met by Adelia who made sure we had everything we could possibly need, from tape measures to coffee to washroom facilities, and she even threw down skids to me from atop a ladder. Amazing! When she saw us putting up the signs to organise things, she whispered to me that she wanted to bring some stuff in to add to the collection.

The crew that showed up tonight was amazing and made the work go quickly and easily. We started to map out just how big the container is so we could get an idea of our progress. Many hands truly do make light work!

And the stuff keeps coming...

11 Bars of Soap

Okay, really there are 12, but who's counting? That being said, 11 Days and Counting until the container is sealed and ready to be shipped.

New drop off locations have been added and the word is definitely spreading. Our Facebook fan page has been set up, so be sure to join up and comment often.

People everywhere want to help. Items don't need to be big. Even a bar of soap can help.

Tonight we are going to the warehouse to get organised and start sorting and packing many of the donations that have already started pouring in. There is a lot of work ahead but many hands make light work. Yay for the generous people in the GTA!
