Coats!

I didn't take a picture today. I was too busy with everything going on. You've all seen coats before though so we probably don't need a picture. The boxes and bags were plentiful though. It was a pretty cool sight and I didn't think about taking the picture. Basically, we received a donation of over 400 coats, a plethora of blankets, and boxes of food today. It was the end results of an eagle scout project. Because of the thrift store's community outreach programs, we were the recipients of all those items. The store was lucky enough to have a service project going on today as well. The department I work for, decided to have a team building meeting at the store and we all worked together for a few hours. Those wonderful people had all the coats hung and put out in a couple of hours. I was amazed and so excited at the ability we had to provide very inexpensive coats so quickly.  They helped deliver the food to the homeless shelter and we started on pricing the blankets, also inexpensively. I really love this time of year and I love the spirit of giving that seems to infect everyone like a happy love virus! I'm not talking about STDs here. Anyway, it was a fun and busy day and I want to remember it for a long time so I decided it would be my donation of the day post even if I didn't have sub-par pictures with random crap in the background. Those are MY favorite donation of the day pictures too! Merry Christmas or Happy Whatever flavor of holiday your family celebrates this glorious winter season. I am re-energized by days like today. Stay warm!
