Portage Resale Shop Service Project in Review
On Saturday, October 7th nine (and a half!) of us went out to the Portage Resale Shop to help prepare for their winter coat give away. If I remember correctly, they will give away about 900 coats! Brandon, of Portage Resale Shop, gave us a tour and a short lesson on non profits and stewardship. This organization is committed to serving our community and partnering with churches to meet needs.
There is a volunteer at the resale shop that oversees this project and in the past she has done all the work of sorting, tagging and hanging coats on her own. Over lunch the students figured out that our giving approximately 3 hours of our time was equivalent to nearly 4 days of her working by herself!
Here are some pics from our day!
